[Dspace-general] Experiences with policy making, quotas?

[Gabriela Mircea]

  Hello Suzanne,


Below is what we have posted on our website in regards to storage space, 
but it doesn't apply to early adopters. For early adopters we have a 
special treatment, since space is not an issue yet, we give them 
unlimited storage space until we officially  launch  our service.

"Storage Space:
The quotas listed below are proposed levels that will be reviewed and 
set prior to the full T-Space release. Thereafter, the quotas for new 
input will be reviewed on an annual basis at which time UofT Libraries 
reserve the right to alter the quotas as dictated by demand and resource 
availability. Communities with greater storage needs will be dealt with 
on a case by case basis.
Annual Quotas for New Input (Guideline only)
Community Size
Small
Medium
Large
Number of items per year 300 600 1000
Number of submitters < 50 51 - 149 150
Average file size 1 MB 1 MB 1 MB
Annual storage limit approx. 3 GB 6 GB 10 GB

"


About policies .. We let the users decide the policies. We just explain 
them their choices, and they decide. Most of our communities do not use 
the workflow, and each community has just a few people allowed to submit.

I hope this helps.

Gabriela
