TDL OJS Users Group

The TDL OJS Users Group works to create an active community among TDL’s users of the Open Journal System hosting service in the following ways:

• By facilitating mutual support among library managers of the OJS hosting service, including the sharing of resources about library publishing policies and good practices

• By facilitating better communication between TDL staff and libraries using this service

• By identifying areas of work that could be undertaken by member-led working groups
