Attached below is the "iTunes U Administrator's Guide" dated June 8, 2007. If you look in the index, the only pages referenced under the term metadata are pages 37 and 38. On page 37 it explains how the word "Album" can be replaced with the word "Course". Likewise "Artist" can be replaced with "Instructor name". This seems to be the extend of its ability to modify metadata which of course does not meet the needs of a library. iTunes_U_AdminGuide.pdf

After the dspace submit process, the pdfs are sent to the directory:

/usr/local/dspace-sr-dev/assetstore

and are given cryptic names like:

/usr/local/dspace-sr-dev/assetstore/97/93/57/97935760829952567360200962040412392397


97935760829952567360200962040412392397 is a pdf file.
