[Dspace-general] question for the list

[Andrea Bollini]

Hi,
I would like to add that there is a support service for repositories in 
Italy as well. The AePIC Team (http://www.aepic.it) at CILEA provides 
housing, hosting, setup and configuration, consultancy, training for 
several e-publishing products, including DSpace. We also provide an Italian 
version of the software interface. Being non-profit, CILEA 
(http://www.cilea.it), a consortium of Italian universities providing ICT 
services, can provide these services at very limited costs.

I think it would be useful to offer a page on DSpace site, maybe in the 
Wiki area, that lists information contacts worldwide for this kind of 
services. It could help to increase the spreading of DSpace, especially for 
those institutions that do not have enough technical resources or expertise 
to install and run it in-house.

Best regards,
Andrea Bollini
