| description | This paper describes MIT Libraries' experience implementing
DSpace, a home-grown open source digital institutional repository,
which other institutions may want to introduce as a service to their
communities. MIT's introduction of DSpace as an operating service illustrates
the many political and organizational considerations that must
be addressed to establish and operate institutional repositories. In addition
to detailing some of the policies developed and organizational
changes undertaken, this article describes the kinds of questions future
implementers of DSpace will want to answer. It also outlines the impacts
the service has had on the library, on MIT, and on the perception of MIT
Libraries within the Institute. |
