Please,

can somebody give me explanation about Eprints:

1) Does the system allow to develop multiple collections?
What do you mean by "Collection"?
How does a "Collection" differ from a "Subject"?

You can have multiple subject-like classifications an a single repository - yes.

2) Does the system allow digital object to be a member of multiple
collections?
Yes - in the same way a single record can be associated with multiple subjects

3) Allows multiple collections within same installation of the system?
Multiple subject-like classifications?
Yes - but the management of it would be a nightmare for your data-loggers

4) Does the system supports browsing of collections?
Yep, just like for subject.
