DigiTool is Open Access-Friendly

“The initial trials and first live projects demonstrate that DigiTool is a proprietary software solution with all the capabilities required to create an open access digital repository.” (Setting up a university digital repository: experience with DigiTool. Valerie Stevenson, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool, UK)

“The project team was able to successfully register the Research Archive with open access harvesters such as OAISTER” (Sue Hodges, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool, UK. DOI: 10.1108/10650750810847242 )
