saldru subject repository dspace demo
DESCRIPTION
I was doing a demo of the subject repository [1] I set up for the Southern African Labour and Development Research Unit (SALDRU). These slides helped form the structure for my demonstration. Incidentally, we used DSpace version 1.8.2... I'll probably blog [2] about this, over the weekend, to provide more details on the process I followed.
