[Dspace-tech] Manakin Workshop and Online Event: Training for the use of Manakin
DSpace Community, NITLE is offering two opportunities to learn more about Manakin http://di.tamu.edu/projects/xmlui/manakin/ . Manakin, the new interface development toolkit for DSpace, is an exciting new technology that allows for extensive modification and customization of the default DSpace interfaces. Manakin gives institutions considerable power to brand and theme DSpace interfaces to match local web styles, to introduce new interface elements and features, and even to create new ways for users to interact with objects in the DSpace repository. A sample Manakin DSpace interface that integrates spatial data coordinated into a graphical display can be seen at: http://txspace.tamu.edu/handle/1969.1/2490. 90 minute online opportunity: April 8, 2009, 3:00 - 4:30 p.m. EDT, Special Topics in Information Services: Manakin, the DSpace Interface Toolkit http://www.nitle.org/www/events/913-special-topics-in-information-servi ces-3 And/or Full day face-to-face workshop opportunity: June 3, 2009, 8:30 - 5:30 p.m. EDT, Developing Interfaces and Interactivity for DSpace with Manakin Workhop http://campnis.blog.nitle.org/manakinworkshop/ Institutions outside of NITLE may participate through the NITLE/DSpace Foundation offer http://www.dspace.org/index.php/News-Archive/NITLE/DSpace-Foundation-Co llaboration.html . I apologize for the cross-posting on general and technical DSpace lists.

[Dspace-tech] Streaming Multimedia for Digital Libraries and IRs such as DSpace: An Introduction -- NITLE offered session
DSpace Community, NITLE http://www.nitle.org/www/site/about_nitle , a not-for-profit organization, is offering an upcoming session on Streaming Multimedia for Digital Libraries and Institutional Repositories such as DSpace: An Introduction on November 7, 2008, 11:00-12:30 p.m. EST. Who should participate For system administrators, digital and analog librarians, archivists, and others from participating institutions http://www.nitle.org/www/institutions , and those interested as part of the collaboration between NITLE and the DSpace Foundation http://www.dspace.org/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=610Ite mid=245 who need a way to manage large multimedia files that 1) keeps end users happy (no download time) and satisfies demands for easy, efficient access, 2) lets administrators control what is seen/displayed, 3) lets administrators maintain branding even when links are established (i.e., lets them protect the source), and 4) is optimized to allow for broad distribution worldwide. (This event was previously titled the DSpace Virtual User Community Meeting.) Interested participants responding to the DSpace/NITLE collaboration offer: Please contact Christina Richison http://www.nitle.org/www/site/staff/christina_richison at [EMAIL PROTECTED] to participate. When contacting Christina, please refer to the NITLE/DSpace Foundation collaboration. Program Description As institutional repositories and digital libraries continue to grow, gain momentum, and acquire content, interest in including audio and video content in these collections is also growing. Yet managing large audio and video files can be challenging, particularly for users wishing to view or access these digital resources. Such files demand more storage and can introduce long wait periods during which files are downloaded to users' computers. Streaming servers can help campuses provide users with much more efficient access to these files, addressing the challenge of managing and using these resources. This session will present the benefits of using streaming servers, examine case studies, and provide an overview of the technologies and processes involved in handling large multimedia files via streaming servers. This session will cover topics such as * Reasons for streaming multimedia * Streaming methods and how they work * Requirements to use streaming media * Types of content to stream * Points to ponder when setting up streaming multimedia * Staffing considerations * Ways to use streaming media * Examples Participants in this interactive, real-time program will learn about and discuss these topics as they relate to digital libraries and institutional repositories such as DSpace. Eric Smith, Assistant Director of Information Security and Networking at Bucknell University, will be the featured presenter.

[Dspace-tech] Submitting Structured Sets of Files to DSpace
Hi All, I am wondering how DSpace handles structured sets of integrated files that are code based such as programs written by computer science students, e.g. games, etc. that may have actual language code interacting with image files, for example.] Is it possible to put these types of files in DSpace in such a way to access the files, launch/use the game?
