This system is responsible for the gathering, processing and presentation of
access, content and administrative statistics generated by DSpace usage. It was
developed based on the principles and some of the components of the statistics
application created and released by ANU. Despite the fact that the development
was made to respond to the specific needs of RepositóriUM, the system is
completely adjustable to other environments, because their components can
easily be configured, changed or extended, to respond to different information
needs.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

of the authors, or their designee).</span></font></span> The text of the mail
is configurable (in our case we made an express statement to forward the mail

token. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:

“Don’t send copy”.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:

reply, the author is presented with one of the two message models (<span

configurable and editable</span></font></span>) for the reply. Finally, the
author must hit the Send button, and the message (including the file(s) if the
