EPrints has a powerful plugin system. In fact most of the screens the user interacts with in EPrints are plugins. Examples include the "Manage Deposits", all the input components in the workflow and all of the importers and exporters.

If you want to really customise your EPrints repository you probably want to write a plugin. You will find the following materials really helpful.

• How to write plugins - An introduction and tutorial to writing eprints plugins.

• http://files.eprints.org - A repository of EPrints plugins which already exist. It might be worth having a look here to see, if someone has already done the work for you. If they haven't, you should upload your stuff. It might save someone (even yourself) some work in the future.
