Editing What Is EPrints (section)

== Dissemination and Publishing ==
EPrints allows you to create and manage a large web site, with skins, a variety of navigation structures and search options, multilingual intefaces and adaptable content.  The licensing and visibility of each item of content is controllable. This is great for all aspects of dissemination and publishing in the academic world. (We differentiate between the two because the items in the repository may have been ''published'' by a third party.)

As well as disseminating individual items, EPrints can deal with a set or collection of material. For example, it is an ideal place to put the proceedings from a conference or workshop, instead of creating a bare website from scratch. You can either set up a whole repository if it is a big conference (like [http://pubs.or08.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ Open Repositories 2008]) or just use a single collection if it is a small workshop (for example [http://journal.webscience.org/view/subjects/WE20081.html Web Evolve 2008]).
