Hi Alain,

you can find it in the METS document. Example:
http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/metadata/handle/10673/145/mets.xml

To display something from the METS XML document in your theme, you should:
1) construct the URL to the document based on current item's handle
2) read the external XML file using the document() call
3) navigate it using xquery to get the value of the CHECKSUM attribute.

It will actually be a (long) one-liner, but I'll leave it up to you as
an exercise :)
If you have a problem with any of the steps, let me know.
When you're done, post the one-liner here for reference.
