Hi Benjamin, I really think upgrading to 1.6 is the least work. You don't have to do this on your production server if you have a reason not to, you can simply set up a new DSpace 1.6 instance on your PC, then export the items using SIP or, alternatively dump the database and copy the assetstore and run the database_schema_15-16.sql upgrade script on the imported database. In 1.6, you can comfortably se the Batch Metadata Editor [1] to export the CSV. Alternatives I can think of: 1) you might be able to find the BME patch for 1.5, but that's just as much work as upgrading and the results are not guaranteed 2) export in SIP, create a program which will convert the files to CSV 3) search if someone already made an external tool to do 2) 4) construnct some SQL queries that will dump CSV So I really think upgrading is your best option.
