Hi All,
I'm trying to get a sense of how many universities are using Dspace for
ETDs and whether institutions are bulk loading ETDs as opposed to
allowing students to self-submit.
I've looked through the literature, but have been unable to find
anything on best practices for ETDs in Dspace.
George Mason is using our DSpace repository for holding our ETDs,
along with the other usual IR types of things. I wouldn't say there is
a current best practices guide, but the Networked Digital Library of
Theses and Dissertations (www.ndltd.org) web site has much information.
This is an interesting statistic which we are not really collecting for
the DSpace community. Perhaps we could invite everyone who has a DSpace
instance registered on the wiki also to list the content types that they
are using it for.
And in answer to your question, we are also using DSpace
Dorothea,
While I appreciate much of what you said I would have to
disagree with:
DSpace's lack of a plugin/mod API,
I don't know what a mod API is, but DSpace does have a very
powerful plugin mechanism. We have used it here to create
a custom RESTful Web services interface for ingestion and
