You don't need to change anything.

Sitemaps can be used to expose hard to find Web pages or to improve 
indexing by focusing the crawler at particular parts of the site. The 
EPrints 3 Web interface has already been designed with Google in mind 
and is fully compatible with their normal crawler without the need for 
sitemaps. That doesn't preclude the addition of a sitemap to EPrints but 
it seems unnecessary at the moment.

(EPrints 3 has some Google-requested additions, EPrints 2 has much the 
same crawler-friendly interface)

Watch this space for a more definitive statement ...

All the best,
Tim.
