From: Ann Taylor <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:56:24 -0800 We’d like to congratulate the Digital Commons community on reaching an amazing milestone—more than 300 institutions have now made over one million full-text objects open access through their institutional repositories! We couldn’t be more proud of the repository managers who made it happen, and who are proving the value of the services they provide through their admirable work. Over the next year we’ll be featuring stories about the individuals who made this goal possible and the many smaller successes that are essential to the success of our community as a whole. Make sure to follow along on our blog (http://blog.digitalcommons.bepress.com) and newsletter! Email [log in to unmask] to subscribe. Congratulations and kudos again to our amazing community of passionate and hard-working repository managers. We can’t wait to see what you do in the coming year! All the best, Ann Ann Taylor Director of Outreach and Scholarly Communications bepress [log in to unmask] www.bepress.com
