[GOAL] Blog: "Summer camp - the scholarly communication way"

<Apologies for cross posting>

Hello all,

Some summer reading: a new blog from Unlocking Research "Summer camp - the scholarly communication way" https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1546

A taster:


Growing up, a diet of B-grade movies gave the impression of American summer camps as places where teenagers undertake a series of slapstick events in the wilderness. That may indeed be the case sometimes, but at the University of California San Diego campus recently, a group of decidedly older people bunked in together for a completely different type of summer camp.

[https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Day2-Motherspaceship-300x225.jpg]<https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?attachment_id=1572>The inaugural FORCE11 Scholarly Communications Institute<https://www.force11.org/fsci> (FSCI) was held in the first week of August, bringing together librarians, researchers and administrators from around the world. The event was planned as a week long intensive summer school on improving research communication. The activities were spread all over the campus, although not, unfortunately in the mother of all spaceships for a library.

The event hashtag was #FSCI<https://twitter.com/search?src=typd&q=%23fsci> and the specific hashtag for the course, “Building an Open and Information Rich Institution<https://www.force11.org/node/7786/#am3>”  I ran with Sarah Shreeves <http://sp.library.miami.edu/subjects/profile/sshreeves> from University of Miami was #FSCIAM3<https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23fsciam3&src=typd>. This blog is a brief run down of what we covered in the course.
