In the first look it seems that ProQuest is offering "service" rather then "Technology". It would unfair to compare it with Open Source technology like EPrints. -Sukhdev Singh NIC

Friends:

A commercial firm has entered the Open Access fray! ProQuest offers the necessary support through its new service called Digital Commons. Already half a dozen US universities/colleges use this technology. Will someone compare this service with the freely available eprints technology of the Southampton University? Best wishes.
