DSpace Community,
NITLE is offering two opportunities to learn more about Manakin <http://di.tamu.edu/projects/xmlui/manakin/> . Manakin, the new interface development toolkit for DSpace, is an exciting new technology that allows for extensive modification and customization of the default DSpace interfaces. Manakin gives institutions considerable power to brand and theme DSpace interfaces to match local web styles, to introduce new interface elements and features, and even to create new ways for users to interact with objects in the DSpace repository. A sample Manakin DSpace interface that integrates spatial data coordinated into a graphical display can be seen at: http://txspace.tamu.edu/handle/1969.1/2490. 90 minute online opportunity: April 8, 2009, 3:00 - 4:30 p.m. EDT, Special Topics in Information Services: Manakin, the DSpace Interface Toolkit <http://www.nitle.org/www/events/913-special-topics-in-information-servi ces-3> And/or Full day face-to-face workshop opportunity: June 3, 2009, 8:30 - 5:30 p.m. EDT, Developing Interfaces and Interactivity for DSpace with Manakin Workhop <http://campnis.blog.nitle.org/manakinworkshop/> Institutions outside of NITLE may participate through the NITLE/DSpace Foundation offer <http://www.dspace.org/index.php/News-Archive/NITLE/DSpace-Foundation-Co llaboration.html> .
