Over the last few days I managed to stage Claudine's ACES collection scans on our server, configure an XSL transform to translate each scan's title, author, date metadata file to the format Dspace wants for bulk import. I imported some records into a test collection , and sent an e-mail out to let several people take a look. The librarians want to enrich the Dspace records with metadata from our Voyager catalog. For example, this Dspace record corresponds to this Voyager record. I pointed out that the DSpace server indexes the OCR full-text of each record's PDF content, so the extra metadata won't help much with discovery. Librarians don't like it when you say things like that!
I spent most of Thursday preparing a patch that fixed a bug Julie at the graduate school found in the ETD proquest-export tool.
