Features

Collections

• Allows a user to remix a number of resources into a new resource.

Collection Workflow

• A new workflow has been introduced with this plugin.
• This workflow integrates seamlessly into your installation of EPrints adding an additional button to the Manage Items screen for the user. It also adds an appropriate editor screen. The workflow does not interfere with the original EPrint workflow.

Collection Abstract View

• A different abstract view is rendered for collections. The collection workflow is modified in a similar way to eprint abstracts.
