Dear list member

JISC provided funds for the Names Project to create a plugin for EPrints
which would make use of the Names API to autocomplete creator fields with
information from the Names system.

This is now available as an extension package for EPrints 3.x users
(http://names.mimas.ac.uk/eprints.html) and as a one-click download from the
EPrints Bazaar Store for users of EPrints 3.3
(http://bazaar.eprints.org/158/). Thanks to Dave Tarrant at Southampton for
his support with this.

There's more about the plugin on the Names Project's blog at:
http://wp.me/pcwZn-6X.

We're also still keen to get more data from institutions to improve results
from the API - there is more information about how and what to submit at
http://wp.me/pcwZn-6L. With your assistance, we can make the data in the
Names system more useful for everyone.

Amanda
