Dear All Greetings from the GIPE Library! DSpace is the most implemented digital library software around the world. According to Directory of Open Access Repository (DOAR), of the 2679 registered Repositories, 1133 (42%) are using DSpace. Whereas, in India, of the 69 Repositories, 43 (62%) are using DSpace. Due to varying technical skills of the administrators, it is observed that most of these repositories use different versions from DSpace 1.6 to DSpace 4.1 and also some of the powerful features of DSpace are underutilized.
