[Dspace-tech] Trying to turn Item preview ON in DSpace 1.4.2

2008-09-08 Thread Thornton, Susan M. (LARC-B702)[NCI INFORMATION SYSTEMS]

I know there has been a lot of work done in the Identifier-space for DSpace recently, of which handles would be one manifestation, though I haven't been keeping up with it's progress or who's working on it. If I remember correctly though, the new work should allow custom identifier schemes
