<p>Hello,</p>
<p>At our institute we are considering librecat as an option for our
data/publication repository and publication database. It is my
understanding that 'PUB' is both a repository (publications and
data) and publications database. Currently we have a combination
of applications providing this functionality, an Eprints
application as a publications repository, another Eprints
application as a data repository and a Bibapp application as a
publications database. We are searching for something that can
consolidate this suite into one application.<br>
</p>
<p>I am quite new to library technologies and have some questions
about librecat that I hope someone can help me with. From the
documentation I can see that it is quite customizable but I would
like some opinion on how possible you think it would be to modify
librecat to achieve the following features.</p>
<p><u>user groups</u></p>
<p>At our institute we organize our students into groups under a
post doc. Our publication database must be able to reflect this by
having group organization. A user must be added to a group and
publications must be organizable and viewable by group and by
individual.</p>
<p><u>imports from external databases</u></p>
<p>We must be able to import the previous publications of people at
the institute from external publication databases, such as Scopus,
CrossRef, ORCID.</p>
<p><u>large data files</u></p>
<p>How is librecat at handling large files? lets say a 5gb research
data file?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Some words on the above would be greatly appreciated.</p>
