Statistics Question – Is our DSpace being used? Number of downloads on a bitstream per month Stored in the database Collection/Community/DSpace – Sum of downloads Statistics are public Bumps along the way – web crawlers The next version – Bitstream downloads per day per IP address

Checksum Tool The Promise – Preserve and maintain documents The Worry – Are we keeping the promise? The Basic Idea – Re-Calculate the checksum The Email – Anyone written a tool like this? – Jim Downing and Grace Carpenter respond – No, lets write one. The Tool – Work began and is almost complete
