[Dspace-general] Displaying, browsing and searching DSpace records in a CMS

[Mr Havercamp]

Hi Scott

Thanks for the update. I have checked out the Drupal module, it looks 
very promising. In fact we are even looking at extending the OAI-PMH 
module to better meet our needs.

Duraspace sounds like an interesting project. Will be watching it with 
interest.

Thanks


Hayden
