Universities and other organizations are producing digital objects—articles, reports, theses, audio/video, datasets—in ever increasing numbers. To collect, preserve and provide access to these digital objects, libraries around the world are building institutional repositories using a variety of software packages for digital asset and content management. This course will discuss how to build an institutional repository using the open source DSpace software, developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Issues to be covered include: DSpace system architecture and installation; metadata issues; marketing strategies for building content communities; administration and support; policy development; operational costs; and the definition of a sustainable business model. The role of the DSpace Federation and ongoing development projects will also be covered.
