More about what's in this space
| Page | Description |
|---|---|
| DSpace Resources | Presents a list of external (non-TDL) educational, reference, and how-to resources on DSpace; includes webpages & documentation, slides, and videos. |
| Submissions and Approval | Step-by-step walkthrough of adding content to DSpace (NOTE: users must have Submitter or Administrator role in the Collection in order to submit content; there must also be a Collection established within the repository) |
| Licensing | Brief discussion of the distribution license in DSpace (which submitters must grant in order to add content); includes UT Austin’s license as an example |
| Creating Communities and Collections | Discusses and demonstrates how to create communities, subcommunities, and collections, the building blocks/organizational containers of DSpace repositories |
| Groups, Users, and Roles | Discusses and demonstrates how to assign different levels of content management authorizations to individuals and groups |
| Relationships in DSpace: Repository Structure | Provides guidance on setting up the hierarchy of communities/subcommunities and collections in DSpace |
| Workflows | Expanded discussion of the use of Roles to establish reviewing and quality control for submissions to the repository |
| Item Mapper | If an item needs to appear in more than one place in the repository, the Item Mapper allows creation of shortcuts for this purpose (rather than adding multiple copies of the same object, then having to edit & maintain all the separate copies) |
| Withdrawing, Deleting, and Making Items Private | Discusses the three levels of “removal” of material from a repository: Withdraw (these items can be reinstated); Delete (expunges the item completely & irreversibly); and Make Private (hides the item; it remains in the collection but is only visible to people with Administrator privileges) |
| Moving Items | Demonstration of relocating objects from one collection to a different collection within the same repository |
