<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Michael,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are using DSpace to provide an ETD
service. The collaborative side of this work is relatively basic but we
have written some code to allow for supervision of submissions by a group of
advisors/supervisors and have worked out a workflow which suits the Edinburgh
(and hopefully therefore the UK's) theses submission process. It would be
a small conceptual (as opposed to coding) step to alter the code we have written
to be for collaborative as opposed to supervised authoring of documents. A
new version of our software will be out very shortly, so you could have a look
at that if it interests you. In the mean time, you can have a read about
what we've been up to at: <A

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am interested in whether any institutions have
used DSpace for collaborative research. Examples might include instances of
ETDs allowing submission, review and approval; project management instances
allowing submissions and updates from multiple group members; course, lab or
project notebooks. We have yet to install the DSpace software but intend to do
so soon with a pilot project that we hope can include one of these types of
collaborative research efforts.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance for any information.</FONT> </P>
