[Dspace-general] Dspace-general Digest, Vol 36, Issue 16

[Scott Yeadon]

Eduardo,

You either need to export and re-import as described below or update the 
db direct (see 
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=13677926). Jose is 
right, there is no UI facility for moving items at the moment.

Scott.
