<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Hello,</span><br>
<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I'm evaluating
DSpace as a possible software solution for implementing an institutional repository
for the institution I'm currently working for ( Instituto Balseiro -
Bariloche, Argentina - </span><a href="http://www.ib.edu.ar/"><em>www.ib.edu.ar/</em></a><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> ). <br>
<br>
I would appreciate anyone out there to let me know how is your experience with
the software so far, what do you think are the pros and cons of this solution
compare with others, what are its strengths and weaknesses, or whatever other
information you think might help me deciding in favor of or against this
solution.<br>
<br>
I will also take into consideration how soon and how much feedback I got here
as a measurement of user community support.<br>
Thank you all in advance.-</span> <o:p></o:p></p>
