Dear Stevan,
I completely support the request to have the "Request Copy" functionality embedded in the "vanilla" DSpace versions. We've been upgrading the Request Copy Add-on (for the jsp interface, that it's the one we are using) since we first developed it. We are currently upgrading the Add-on for DSpace 3.2 (we are upgrading our repository to DSpace 3.2), and the "production" version of the Add-on is for DSpace 1.8xx repositories. We are obviously willing to contribute the Addon code to be included in the DSpace core, and strongly support that integration.

It apparently needs an upgrade, and it's especially important to provide and embed it in DSpace core at this crucial time in the evolution of OA policy worldwide. The Button is an essential component in an effective OA mandate. http://dspace.2283337.n4.nabble.com/Re-Use-of-e-print-request-button-td4665355.html https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/RequestCopy Many thanks for any help or information you can provide, Stevan Begin forwarded message: ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hutchinson, Alvin" <hutchins...@si.edu <mailto:hutchins...@si.edu> > To: <hbosc-tcher...@orange.fr <mailto:hbosc-tcher...@orange.fr> > Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2013 3:28 PM Subject: Request for information on repository request-copy Button I received a message stating that you are interested in the use of Request Copy button in repositories. We at the Smithsonian Libraries use DSpace and have employed the Request Copy button for several years. However, it is becoming problematic as the plugin does not seem to have any active development or upgrades. I'm not sure how familiar you are with DSpace but for several versions, there has been an XML user interface as well as the original JSP (java server pages) interface. The Request Copy plugin only works with *.jsp and that is very limiting. We would like to upgrade to the current version but will have to give up the functionality which many of our users like to have. Please take a minute to tell me something about your interest and your work. Best, Alvin Hutchinson Smithsonian Libraries
