The Sustainability, Preservation and Accessibility of Internal and External Communities by Universities
Abstract
This paper will provide three different cases or examples of how a mid-size University is able to implement DSpace across diverse groups of users. Additionally, one of the cases will show how the DSpace software has been 'repurposed' to serve as the university library's Electronic Reserve and how it has been linked the library's ILS. The paper will show how the university has obtained a consistent level of sustainability, preservation and accessibility to using DSpace with limited resources.
