DSpace  Quick start Guide

 


Step 1 – Watch a DSpace overview

Watch the DSpaceintroductory video. This video walks you through a minute demonstration of how DSpace works.

 

Step 2 – Try DSpace for yourself

Play with a demo version of DSpace and see how it works before you download and install the entire platform.  You may access the DSpace demo instance to explore the features and functionality of the latest version of DSpace.

 

Step 3 – Learn about how to set up a repository

Review the Digital Repositories infoKit created by JISC/RSP, it is a practical ‘how to’ guide to setting up and running digital repositories. This resource has been written for repository administrators. It assumes no prior knowledge of repository matters and, more importantly, assumes no prior technical knowledge.

Alternatively you can review the LEADIRS Workbook: Creating an Institutional Repository. The workbook outlines the major steps and decisions an organization must take in designing and building an institutional repository. Written originally for a series of workshops in the UK, the workbook contains advice, sample documents, tools, and reference materials.

 

Step 4 – Learn about common DSpace customizations

Review the latest Guides and  FAQs for DSpace.  These resources (including training resources/videos) are linked to from our community Wiki.

 

Step 5 – Refer to the DSpace documentation
