Key Factors to DSpace’s adoption
Open source, freely available Great support network of current users World
Wide Easy to use as packaged Can handle a multitude of digital formats Initially developed by leading institutions Content all accessible through Google Scholar
TM

Institutional Repository
Institution-based Scholarly material in digital formats Cumulative and perpetual Open source and interoperable Potentially new publishing models Provides faculty with long-term
storage of research data and publications
TM

Why Libraries? Expertise
Large-scale collection management Assessment/collection policies preservation
Metadata Solid business practices
Commitment Long time frames Fits with Libraries’ mission
TM
11
Digital Preservation Philosophy
Lots of digital material is already lost Most digital material is at risk Better to have it, do bit preservation
than to lose it completely Need to capture as much information as
possible to support functional preservation
Cost/benefit tradeoffs
TM
12
DSpace Information Model Communities
Research units of the organization Collections (in communities)
Distinct groupings of like items Items (in collections)
Logical content objects Receive persistent identifier
Bitstreams (in items) Individual files Receive preservation treatment
TM
13
Possible DSpace Content Articles
Preprints, e-prints
Technical Reports Working Papers Conference Papers E-theses Audio/Video
Datasets Statistical,
geospatial Images
Visual, scientific Teaching material
Lecture notes, visualizations, simulations
Digitized library collections
TM
14
Communities Departments, Labs, Research
Centers, Programs, Schools, etc. Localized policy decisions
Who can contribute, access material Submission workflow
Submitters, approvers, reviewers, editors Collections definition, management
Communities supply metadata Or contract with library
TM

Easy to Use Easy to add content Easy to browse and search content Permanent identifier for your content

Metadata Currently uses standard Dublin core descriptive
metadata Possible to extend fields as you wish Possible to import MARC and MODs but lose
hierarchal structure Supports any named space flat non-hierarchal
metadata schema
TM

Other areas you can customize Submission process- you can configure the submission
steps to suit your organization Browse and search terms- can set what fields and files you
choose to index and display in the browse interface Database- can choose Postgres or Oracle OAI-PMH-can expose your catalog for harvesting and
access Extend DSpace to work with other web services- using
Light Network Interface you can pull or push content to/from DSpace
User interface- you can create your own user interface
TM

Next Steps: Build a Community
Work with DSpace team on campus to create a Community
Add content Use metadata (keywords,
descriptions) to aid search and retrieval
Update community’s content with new research
