 About
Us
The MIT Libraries and the Hewlett-Packard
Company are engaged in a $1.8 million joint project to build a digital
repository at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that could serve
as a model for other universities. The purpose of the project is to build
a stable and sustainable long-term digital storage repository that provides
an opportunity to explore issues surrounding access control, rights management,
versioning, retrieval, community feedback, and flexible distribution capabilities.
DSpace includes articles written by faculty and researchers, technical
reports from MIT labs and centers, and other electronic content deemed
valuable by the MIT Libraries or its partners among the schools, labs
and centers at the university. The ability to manage multimedia electronic
formats is an important aspect of this repository, which will include
text, images, audio, video and datasets.
Those participating in DSpace have the opportunity to promote their
work to a broader set of people, with DSpace acting as a showcase for
the owners' activities.
