dSpace, Endnote, Gund

Former UVM staffer Hillary Archer and current Gund director Taylor Ricketts

 

I received this note from Hillary Archer, Project Manager Media Communications, Gund Institute for Ecological Economics. They are revising their site to better use the UVM template

http://www.uvm.edu/giee/development/

And they want their Publications Page , currently at

http://www.uvm.edu/giee/?Page=publications.html&default_menu.html

to be database driven, searchable, looking something like this:

http://www.uvm.edu/~waw/archives/geii/?Page=publications.html

I met with her and discussed her options:

o Request the PHP code from UMN http://environment.umn.edu/forms/project_search_form.php , find someone who can modify it for Gund use. Note that data fields are different

o Find someone to build it all from scratch

o Use Dspace as a ‘back end’

Hillary liked the Dspace option. To that end, I used dSpace API to incorporate dSpace display and search requests through php and UVM template. I also wrote a parser to interpret and unload EndNote XML exports.
