Publishing Conference Materials on QUBES
In this session, BioQUEST staff will show how to publish conference materials, presentations, workshops, and teaching materials with BioQUEST. This tool is a great way to make them accessible to others, document your scholarship, and build your resume. The QUBES OER Library has a variety of examples including workshops, posters, and other conference materials.
