So long and thank you Mathias
The SFX Product Working Group met in Oxford during the IGeLU 2014 conference to discuss changes in our PWG and goals for the year 2015.
We are very sorry to announce that our long-term member Mathias Kratzer has left the PWG after the IGeLU 2014 conference. We would like to thank Mathias for his dedicated work for the group and the whole IGeLU community.
Welcome Svein and Caterina
With Mathias continuing towards new challenges, we would like to welcome two new members, Svein Ivar Halvorsen (National Institute of Occupational Health, Norway) and Caterina Barazia (University of Torino, Italy) to our PWG. Svein will take over the role of the deputy coordinator of the group and Caterina will concentrate on the publisher relations.
