[Dspace-general] Registering publication without associated items.

[MacKenzie Smith]

Hi Martin,

I'm not really an expert on the best way to do this. If you can't figure it 
out from the documentation,
try asking the dspace-tech list for advice... that's really the group of 
people who know the ins and outs
of this.

Best,

MacKenzie
