This plugin was developed by Tomasz Neugebauer, Bin Han and Adam Field

Installation

Install from the bazaar. There are no dependencies.

Configuration

Use the configuration editor to:

• insert your library's identifier (see Library and Archives Canada for what that is) in z_etd_ms_identifier.pl
• make any changes in field mapping in the z_etd_ms_fields.pl file (e.g. Library and Archives Canada requires <publisher> field, which is mapped to <institution> by default; this can be changed if necessary)
