On Tuesday, March 28 at 1 PM ET, three members of the SAOA Outreach Working Group—Amina Malik (Outreach Assistant for SAOA and master’s degree student at the University Illinois, Urbana-Champaign), Elizabeth Lhost (South Asia Digital Librarian at the Center for Research Libraries), and Laura Ring (Southern Asian Studies Librarian at the University of Chicago)—will be live on zoom to answer your questions about the South Asia Open Archives!
We’ll start the conversation with some basics (What is SAOA? How does it work? etc.) and then will dive into questions and curiosities from the audience.
We welcome your questions before, during, and after the event. Email us at saoa@crl.edu, find us on Twitter (@SouthAsiaOA), or send us your questions during registration.
