Google, DSpace, and Other Emerging Repositories for Non-Patent Prior Art

According to an April 9, 2004 article in the Chronicle of Higher Education, a "DSpace search feature" could soon appear on Google's advanced-search page. DSpace is a digital library system to capture, store, index, preserve, and redistribute the intellectual output of a university’s research faculty in digital formats.  It is freely available to research institutions world-wide as an open source system that can be customized and extended, and it accepts all forms of digital materials including text, images, video, and audio files.
