[Openglam_members] Open Collections call

Tue Nov 25 19:14:10 UTC 2014

I would love to get (or give) a case study toolbox! Our research shows (do
I already sound like an American scientist?) that glams really crave for
case studies more than for manuals. But this is of course something else
than open collections list (I think).
GLAMcamp sounds great!
