EIFL and IDS webinar on DSpace repositories
Join our free EIFL and IDS webinar on DSpace repositories on
Wednesday, 20 January, at 10:00 GMT to learn more on how to check
whether your DSpace repository has been set up according to the
current best practice and how to make adjustments if needed: upgrades,
standardization of the installation and customization.
Nason Bimbe (IDS, http://www.ids.ac.uk), Hilton Gibson (Stellenbosch
University) and Andrew Mwesigwa (Makerere University) will share
experiences from their joint activities to assist the Makerere
University Library (http://mulib.mak.ac.ug) to effectively manage the
digitisation projects and to maintain their own DSpace repository that
is used to disseminate the university?s intellectual outputs.
And Africa Bwamkuu (African Digital Libraries Support Network, ADLSN)
will talk about hosting digital libraries on the cloud: a case study
of adlc.info - platform for digital repositories.
Best practices for running sustainable institutional repositories will
be discussed as well as DSpace repository operations optimisation,
taking into account the experience gained from managing the following:
- Makerere University Institutional Repository http://makir.mak.ac.ug
- SUNScholar : Stellenbosch University Institutional Repository
http://scholar.sun.ac.za
- SUNDigital Collections http://digital.lib.sun.ac.za
- University of Namibia Library - UNAM Scholarly Repository
http://repository.unam.na
- IDS OpenDocs: http://opendocs.ids.ac.uk/opendocs
Programme
The webinar will have two parts. The first part will address the
following topics:
- Systems work: how to standardise the DSpace repository installation
according to best systems practice for Unix/Linux servers, e.g.
checking operational installation location, etc;
- How to manage DSpace upgrades and other operational customisations
in line with the normal installation of DSpace and those needed for
the upgrade of DSpace;
- Ensuring daily repository maintenance: how to institute a system of
daily backups and daily automatic maintenance; setting up policies for
disaster recovering;
- How to set up the digital object identifier handle server, the
OAI-PMH remote harvester interface and the SWORD remote deposit
service;
- High-level discussion of other DSpace interoperability facilities
such as RSS, REST-API, RDF, DOI and ORCID;
- Operational customisations: how to institute a simple academic
submission; amend the default license for submission; set up custom
index; how to update the XMLUI front page news file, etc;
- How to enable the use of Google analytics;
- How to enable the Mirage2 theme;
- Community/collection hierarchies management;
- The need for open access self archiving policy and repository
preservation plan; and
