Hello!<br>
<br>
I'm Jodi Schneider, one of the Google Summer of Code students. I'm
writing to ask for your input on my project on Portable Citations.<br>
<br>
Do you have particular needs or requirements that Portable Citations should meet? <br>
I'd like to start by gathering samples of bibliographic records from
different sources, to get a concete idea of what *exactly* my code
should do. Would you be willing to share some sample records of the sort that you would like to import? <br>
<br>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
More details about the project, and about me:<br><br>
My project is called Portable Citations: moving citations between DSpace and bibliographic<br>
software managers. The goal is to be able to move metadata *into* and
*out of* DSpace. The product should serve both IR managers
(importing metadata en masse) and end-users (exporting metadata into a
variety of programs). Stuart Lewis is my primary mentor, and I'll also
be working with Claudia Jurgen and Christophe Dupriez.<br>
A longer (but not really more meaty) description is found in my abstract:<br>

About me: I'm a LEEP student at UIUC, about halfway through an LIS
degree. I work at Amherst College Science Library in Massachusetts, and
have a background in math and in liberal arts.<br>
<br>
I look forward to receiving sample records, and other suggestions that you have!<br>
<br>
Best,<br><br>-Jodi Schneider<br>Portable citations for DSpace<br>
