Dear Eric:

It sounds like a good approach.  Could you check the link you
circulated?  I couldn't access it.

Best wishes,

Here at Notre Dame we have created an initial DSpace, DigiTool, ETD- 
db, and MyLibrary institutional repository:

   http://dewey.library.nd.edu/morgan/demo/

Our goal here at Notre Dame is to use the first three tools listed  
above primarily as repositories. We will then harvest content from  
these repositories (via OAI) and cache it to a MyLibrary database.  
 From our cache we will then provide digital library services such as  
search, browse, download, What's New?, syndicate via RSS, Google  
PageRank, dynamically created bibliographies, etc. We are going this  
route because each of the tools are more like applications with  
particular looks & feels. If we cache our content centrally, then we  
are able to work with it in a much more flexible manner.

Your comments regarding our initial implementation would be greatly  
appreciated.
