Thanks Robin I was hoping to query DSpace directly rather than harvest by OAI-PMH...thanks for info on the REST API.

I know that one of the Texas universities does exactly that. Unfortunately this functionality wasn't released with DSpace until 1.6 but it may be that you could backport it. With regards to the DSpace REST API - the code continues to be worked on and for that reason will not be released with 1.8, however it will be packaged in a way that will make it more easily downloadable and integrated into DSpace.
