Introduction

DSpace is a groundbreaking digital library system that captures, stores, indexes, preserves and redistributes the intellectual output of an organization's researchers in digital formats. Developed jointly by MIT Libraries and Hewlett-Packard (HP), DSpace is now freely available to organizations worldwide as an open source system that can be customized and extended. DSpace is an open source software system that enables institutions to: - Capture and describe digital works using a custom workflow process - Distribute an institution's digital works over the web, so users can search and retrieve items in the collection - Preserve digital works over the long term To collect, distribute, and preserve research materials in increasingly complex digital formats is a time-consuming and expensive chore for individual faculty and their departments, labs, and centers to manage themselves. The DSpace system provides a way to manage these research materials and publications in a professionally maintained repository to give them greater visibility and accessibility over time.
