[Dspace-general] End-user documentation

[Sverre Magnus Elvenes Joki]

Hi Claudia.

I've had a look at the documentation you mention, and this is 
unfortunately not the documentation we are looking for. Both the "tips & 
tricks..." and the DSpace Sys Doc are great, but they are intended for 
the DSpace admin.

I was quite uclear about this in my first mail, but what we are looking 
for, is documentation for the collections administrators. Very 
non-technical and not about the files, configs, styles etc. Just about:
- the use of the DSpace admin interface
- what a collections is and what a community is
- what a workflow is and how the admins can achieve what they want using 
them
- and how it all works (non-technical of cource).


I hope this clarifies things a bit.
