On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk

The earliest surviving fragments of codices come from Egypt – there was a recent flurry over one that might date to the 3rd century CE. The ‘Crosby-Schøyen Codex’ recently came to market from the 3rd to 4th century CE; Codex Amiatinus is the oldest complete Vulgate Bible, from the 7th century CE and was made in Jarrow before it passed to Italy. Books last. What confidence can we have that they will continue to do so? Is Open Scholarship sustainable? What do we need to do to ensure it is? And why does it matter?
