DSpace Request Copy Add-on Documentation

What is the DSpace Request Copy Add-on?

It was recently suggested by Stevan Harnad that we develop a "request Reprint by email" feature for DSpace, similar to one that has recently been implemented in GNU Reprints for deposits whose full-text access privileges are set to Restricted Access (A) rather than Open Access (OA), in order to tide over any A period with facilitated email access. The Request Copy Add-on is this feature developed by Minho University Documentation Services, initially for DSpace 1.3.2 and now also available for DSpace 1.4.

...

1. We have called the functionality 'Request Copy', but in the code this add-on is always referred as 'RequestItem'.
2. The buttons used in this add-on can be configurable and renamed (eg., Request Eprint, Email Eprint, etc.).
3. The add-on was developed and tested for DSpace 1.3.2. It is not guaranteed that it will work on previous or subsequent versions of DSpace.

Internationalization

Language changes can easily be made by editing the Messages.properties file.

Download

The files of this ADD-on and system documentation (including installation documentation) are available in request-copy-1.1.tar.gz (1.4.x compliant). If you're running a DSpace 1.3.x installation you can download the previous version of the Add-on in add-on_RequestCopy.zip.
