[Dspace-general] RES: DSpace for e-theses

[Afonso Comba de Araujo Neto]

It's interesting to notice that they completely missed the fact that
DSpace is an open software, customizable in anyway you chose and their
chosen solution not only costs about thousands of dollars a year, but
probably is something heavily limited in terms of customization. Even if
that's a small detail for them, I'm pretty sure that's not the case for
most of the institutions around the world that chose to use DSpace.

But, anyway, the criticism is technically valid.

	Of interest to those using DSpace for ETDs: 
<http://eprints.rclis.org/archive/00007938/>.

	Some of the technical concerns in this paper have been
addressed, but the 
criticism of DSpace's search capabilities is still quite relevant.
