ISO: "DSpace for Dummies"

[Keith Gilbertson]

Julie -

DSpace has a good set of community mailing lists, listed here:

https://wiki.duraspace.org/plugins/servlet/mobile#content/view/68067279

Also, we have a lot of DSpace experience at Virginia Tech, and I might be
able to get some of your questions answered. We're running VTechWorks on
UNIX-like systems instead of Windows, though, so there are differences that
could make things tricky.
