Hi all, I have done some work about this in Czech Digital Mathematics Library project (DML-CZ). My solution needs Manakin (new templates, Aspects and so), it could be useful. Except for journals I also include proceedings and monographs into the DSpace structure. You can check the DML-CZ directly to see how it looks at
http://dml.cz/ and to learn more about the project http://project.dml.cz/ and finally to learn how the things work in DSpace you can download the paper "Building the Czech Digital Mathematics Library upon DSpace System" at (it is third link) http://project.dml.cz/documents.html regards Vlastik ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vlastimil Krejčíř Library and Information Centre, Institute of Computer Science Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic Email: krejcir (at) ics (dot) muni (dot) cz Phone: +420 549 49 3872 ICQ: 163963217 Jabber: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Thu, 11 Dec 2008, Mark H.
