DSpace supports the OpenURL protocol from SFX, in a rather simple fashion. If your institution has an SFX server, DSpace will display an OpenURL link on every item page, automatically using the Dublin Core metadata. Additionally, DSpace can respond to incoming OpenURLs. Presently it simply passes the information in the OpenURL to the search subsystem. A list of results is then displayed, which usually gives the relevant item (if it is in DSpace) at the top of the list.

Support for modern browsers

The DSpace developer community aims to rely on modern web standards and well tested libraries where possible. As a rule of thumb, users can expect that the DSpace web interfaces work on modern web browsers. DSpace developers routinely test new interface developments on recent versions of Firefox, Safari and Chrome. Because of fast moving, automatic, incremental updates to these browsers, support is no longer targeted at specific versions of these browsers.

For Internet Explorer, the community attempts to support the latest official version and up to 2 older versions. 

In some cases, modern interfaces are developed alongside older interfaces that no longer receive active maintenance or improvements. This is particularly true for the original themes for the XML User Interface such as "Kubrick", "Classic" and "Reference". These themes still reside in the code base but are not optimized for modern browsers.
