I’ve learned (indirectly via David Piper of Cambridge) that the Request-Copy Button is

now native to DSpace as of Version 6. 

Delighted too that implementing the Button is being  considered for the next upgrade of

DSpace@Cambridge 

I hope that all EPrints and DSpace Institutional Repositories will now implement the 

Request-Copy Button to maximize the access provided by their OA mandates during 

any allowable OA embargo period. (Other Repository softwares should do it too!)

Dear Stevan,
Thank you for your suggestion on the DSpace Request-Copy Button. This feature
is now built into the version 4 DSpace release and I have added implementation
of the Request-Copy Button to the list for considerations when we are able to
move on to that version
Best wishes
