Hi,

I'm working with 1.5.2 version with the xmlui and I'm dealing with the
following problem:
I have been trying to create an Item template for a collection using item's
authorizations, but when I try to use the link "Edit Authorizations" I have
an error (in attachment). 
Can someone help me?
Thank you

Happy New Year Stuart,

So i see.
Could it be possible to redirect only the users that click to "MyDspace" in the "/community-list" page?


Thanks in advance,
Anna

This is issue is slightly complicated. The URL that the user is redirected
to is in Authenticate.java (line 145) as you have found:

 - originalURL = request.getContextPath() + "/mydspace";

However... this is only used if a user requested the login screen, rather
than DSpace redirecting them there, in which case DSpace decides where to
forward them to. For example if a user tries to access a restricted item,
and they are not logged in, then they will be redirected to the login
screen. Once they have logged in, DSpace will then forward them to the item
they requested.

If you want to log in directly, then visit
http://your-dspace/jspui/ldap-login and if you have changed the line in
Authenticate.java then they should be redirected appropriately.

If this is not happening, it is probably because your users are clicking on
'My DSpace' in order to log in. This tries to take them to their
'My DSpace'
screen, but first requires them to log in. Once they have done so, they are
redirected to the page they wanted, My DSpace. DSpace is sending them to the
destination that they requested.

If you want all users to be redirected to a different URL all of the time,
then change the following code in Authenticate.java:

 if (originalURL == null)
 {
     // If for some reason we don't have the original URL, redirect
     // to My DSpace
     originalURL = request.getContextPath() + "/mydspace";
  }
  else
  {
     // Set the flag in the session, so that when the redirect is
     // followed, we'll know to resume the interrupted request
     session.setAttribute("resuming.request", new Boolean(true));
  }

Change this to just:

  originalURL = request.getContextPath() + "/community-list";

I hope this helps,


Stuart

Subject: [Dspace-general] from "jspui" to "handle"
Message-ID: <193718.11885.qm@web25408.mail.ukl.yahoo.com>

Hi all,

the previous installation we have been using was in the 1.4.2 version where the
url was like http://my.dspace.edu/dspace/handle/123456789/324
and in the current version the same item -provided that one is interested to keep the same handle in both installations (old &current version)- would have a URL like:
http://my.dspace.edu/jspui/handle/123456789/324
since we're primarily using the jspui.
Is there a way to keep the same url?
I tried through the parameter 'dspace.url' (in the dspace.cfg file) but it doesn't work

Thanks,
Anna

Anna,

Depending on your configuration, the base url may be defined in tomcat's 
server.xml file.

If you are copying the jspui directory to tomcat/webapps, you can rename 
  jspui to another name to fit your needs.

You also need to change the dspace.url parameter in dspace.cfg accordingly.

Regards,
Allen Lam.

Thank you for your answer, Dorothea.
We are checking our theme with the tool you suggested in your reply. Anyway we encountered the same behavior in a fresh install of dspace 1.5.2 (source from svn repos) using the default theme.
As you suggested it could be an xmlui bug or a theme bug, since using jspui interface the item template seems to be working fine.
One more question: is it possible to set a set of default access policies for bitstreams into the item template?
We are trying to delegate tasks such as modifying already ingested items (add/delete bitstreams and modifying their descriptions) to collection administrators or submitters, but Dspace default behavior seems to assign just default_bistream_read anonymous as access policy. 
Thank you for your attention

(Redirecting to dspace-tech.)

When I get this, it usually means there's a syntax error in my XSLT
stylesheet somewhere. I cannot recommend <oXygen/> too highly; it
catches many of my bonehead mistakes before they go onto the server.
(Using "test=" where I mean "select=" and vice versa is a favorite of
mine.)

Greetings!

I installed Dspace 1.5 on Linux SUSE 10.1 and while the jspui interface
looks fine, the xmlui one looks strange.  It does have almost all elements
showing 4 times (see screenshot attached).  When I installed it for a test
on a Windows machine (which was so much easier than on Linux, btw), both
interfaces looked great.  What should I do to remove this multiplication?

Cheers,
Stan

Hi Weng,

We use DOI identifiers here at The University of Waikato without any problem, we've also written a small patch to render a DOI as a proper URL -- very similar to the way dc.identifier.uri (handle links) or a date field is handled.
You can see an example of this at http://waikato.researchgateway.ac.nz/handle/10289/439 - the DOI is entered during submission or item edit, and when metadata is displayed, you it generates a nice link to http://dx.doi.org/<doi>

If you're interested in the patch or have any other questions just ask. Hopefully I'm not being too technical on the dspace-general list.

Greetings,

We have a department that would like to allow faculty and librarians to
submit URLs and descriptions of interesting resources that they couldn't
submit in forms of pdf, MS Word etc.  The end result would be a collection
of links that anyone could search/browse.  Is it possible to submit URLs
only?

Cheers,

Hi Stan,

file upload it not mandatory to the submission process. If you set
webui.submit.upload.required = false in the dspace.cfg
you can submit items without bitstreams.

Are you one managing metadata? In that case there are tools for 
collaborative reference management which might be more appropriate for 
this use case.

Hope that helps

Claudia

Thank you very much, Claudia!

Now it works like a charm.

I am the person responsible for metadata managing (among other things, since
we are a small library), but haven't had a chance to do anything with it
yet.  Those collaborative reference management tools are different from
dspace, right?  We are going to use for this project a combination of
LibGuides and DSpace and a third tool might be an overkill.  I was thinking
that allowing people to submit URLs with short blurbs would be enough for
what we're planning.

Cheers,
Stan

Greetings!

We are starting promotion of the upcoming IR and some faculty are asking
about copyright.  They have unpublished works they would like to put in IR,
but they want to ensure that everybody knows they were the first to make
these works available.  My boss suggests using creative commons license
which, according to her, should cover that.  I believe that's what most
people would use, but I would love to confirm with those who have been
working with previously unpublished papers in IR.  If someone has an example
of copyright notice I could show to my faculty, I would be very grateful.

Cheers,
Stan

Hi Stan,

CC is a modular license system regulating the way a resource can be 
used. It does not affect copyright. So placing a resource under e.g.
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/ca/ does not hold 
information about the copyright. In this case you got to have additional 
information as "Attribution. You must attribute the work in the manner 
specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests 
that they endorse you or your use of the work)." in order to fulfill 
this the user must have the information.

You got to distinguish between use rights and copyright. The copyright 
owner of a resource can grant exclusive and non-exclusive use rights 
(which might be distinguished print, electronic publishing, film ...) to 
someone else.

Many repositories simply got a general statement like "All items in 
[Your repository] are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved."
or
"Items in [YourRepository] are protected by copyright, with all rights 
reserved, unless otherwise indicated.

So in repository terms your got 3 types of rights:
- the copyright (mostly stored in dc.rights)
- the rights granted by the copyright owner to the repository (stored in 
DSpace as a license with the item)
- the rgihts granted by the copyright owner to users of the resource via 
the repository. (mostly stored in dc.rights.accessRights)

Note that copyright law varies from country to country, with little 
harmonization in IPL.

Hope that helps

Dear community,

The link below is an article written by folks at Humboldt State  
University in California, titled "Institutional Repository on a  
Shoestring".  DSpace open source software was the platform the team  
chose to set up their repository.  For those new to the community you  
may find some of their processes and evaluation insightful.

When an new item has been submitted to DSpace, an automatic email is sent to the person whose task it is to review the submission.  An example is below.  How could I add another metadata element (like Department) from the submission into this email.  Obviously the Title, Collection and Submitter name is from the metadata of the submission.  Where is the email form located and is it customizable?  Being able to add another element would help our workflow a lot.  Thanks for your help.

Example:

Subject: DSpace: You have a new task

A new item has been submitted:

Title: A new item for DSpace
Collection: Workflow test
Submitted by: Name of submitter (email address of submitter)

It requires reviewing.

Hi Nancy,

you got to modify:

WorkflowManager.java

notifyGroupOfTask

Get the information, add it as an email argument and change the email
template to include this argument.

DSpace and Fedora: A Collaboration Update

Wed., February 18, 2009

9:00 a.m. PT; 12:00 p.m. ET

In 2008 the DSpace Foundation and Fedora Commons came together to work  
on joint initiatives that would better serve both open source  
repository communities. Several directions have emerged.  Both  
organizations are working together to improve interoperability of the  
software, forming joint collaborations with other organizations that  
offer value to both communities, and developing joint programs for  
advocacy, education and outreach. In addition, Fedora Commons and the  
DSpace Foundation are collaborating to investigate the prospect of  
jointly developing new technologies. Both organizations received a  
grant from the Mellon Foundation to design "DuraSpace", a service that  
will allow users to replicate and access their digital content in the  
cloud. Join Michele Kimpton, Executive Director, DSpace Foundation,  
and Sandy Payette, Executive Director Fedora Commons for a 60-minute  
update on the multiple dimensions of this dynamic collaboration  
between two of the largest providers of open source software for  
managing and providing access to digital content.

All About Fedora

Wed., March 18, 2009

9:00 a.m. PT; 12:00 p.m.. ET
The letters in Fedora?s name stand for ?Flexible, Extensible, Digital  
Object Repository Architecture,? and also for the idea that it?s core  
structure provides a robust, integrated, open source repository  
platform that enables storage, access and durable management of  
virtually any kind of digital content, ?All Ways. Always.? Most  
developers and repository managers like those terms, but what do they  
really mean? How do users get started with Fedora? Who else is using  
it? Where can users get hands-on help with planning and  
implementation? Join Thornton Staples, Director of Community Strategy  
and Outreach, Fedora Commons for a 60-minute overview that explains  
what Fedora is, why many large national repositories use it, and  
advice on the nuts and bolts of getting started.

Subject: [Dspace-general] 4th Institutional Repository Workshop hosted by
	the University of	Pretoria, South Africa
Message-ID: <4973A669.1050.00C0.0@up.ac.za>

* Apologies for cross-postings *

Colleagues

Following the need for training and support on implementing institutional repositories in developing (and also in some instances developed) countries, it is our privilege to announce that a 4th Institutional Repository Workshop will be hosted by the University of Pretoria (South Africa) during 2009. Visit the University of Pretoria at http://www.up.ac.za 

About this workshop
Modern computer technology is barely 50 years old, and few of us have seen
or used digital objects that are more than 30 years old. Add to this that we
can't predict the future of computer technology, it puts us in a very
vulnerable position when deciding on which approach to follow when
preserving our digital assets (incl. research). More and more African as
well as South African institutions/organizations are starting to implement
digital preservation strategies and repositories in order to collect,
disseminate, manage, preserve, and index their digitally born and
non-digitally born assets, following a world-wide paradigm. In addition to
preserving intellectual output, an open access digital repository can also
help improve the visibility, usage and impact of research conducted at your
institution on the world out there.

The aim of this workshop will be to equip colleagues from all sectors with
the necessary skills to implement a digital repository - from compiling and
implementing an e-strategy, conducting a needs analysis, compiling a
business plan, proposal, installing the necessary software (we will be using
DSpace open source software), digitization and copyright issues, up to
giving exposure to the repository and the role of librarians and faculty.

Program and more info: http://www.library.up.ac.za/irtoolbox/workshop.htm 

Who should attend?
Project Managers, IT staff & Library staff with the responsibility to
implement a digital institutional repository at their institutions, from all
sectors of life - higher education, private institutions, public departments
etc.

Date: 1 - 3 April 2009

Venue: University of Pretoria, Main Campus, Lynnwood Road (Orange Lab,
Informatorium Building 67), Pretoria, South Africa

Costs: R 1 800,00 per delegate (incl. VAT) (SA Rand)

Please register online: http://www.library.up.ac.za/irtoolbox/registration.htm 

Closing date for registrations and payments: 28 February 2009

Open repositories 2009 - The Premier Venue for Implementers and  
Managers of Repository Infrastructure and Services

Call for Papers, Posters and Workshops

Repositories are being deployed in a variety of environments  
(education, research, science, cultural heritage) and contexts  
(national, regional, institutional, project, lab, personal).  
Regardless of setting, context or scale, repositories are increasingly  
expected to operate across administrative and disciplinary boundaries  
and to interact with distributed computational services and social  
communities. It is the aim of the Open Repositories Conference to  
bring together individuals and organizations responsible for the  
conception, development, implementation and management of digital  
repositories, as well as stakeholders who interact with them, to  
address theoretical, practical, and strategic issues.

A program of papers, panel discussions, poster presentations, user  
groups, and workshops or tutorials will bring together all the key  
stakeholders in the field. Open source software community meetings for  
the major platforms (EPrints, DSpace and Fedora) will also provide  
opportunities to advance and coordinate the development of repository  
installations across the world. The conference will include a keynote  
address by John Wilbanks, who runs the Science Commons project at  
Creative Commons.

Submission Instructions

Conference Proposals: We welcome two- to four-page proposals for  
presentations or panels that discuss theoretical, practical, or  
administrative issues of digital repositories that focus on areas  
represented by the conference themes. Abstracts of accepted proposals  
will be made available through the conference's OCS site; all  
presentations and related materials used in the program sessions will  
be deposited in the upcoming Open Repositories 2009 community in  
Georgia Tech's institutional repository, SMARTech (http://SMARTech.gatech.edu 
).

User Group Presentations: Two- to four-page proposals for  
presentations or panels that focus on use of one of the major  
repository platforms (EPrints, DSpace and Fedora) are invited from  
developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and

Subject: [Dspace-general] Looking for (DSpace) Repositories using Google
	Analytics
Message-ID: <ad9d20200901230240t43675c1ekd8e22a00615bb148@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

we're currently initiating a small research exercise, where we try to
analyse & compare number of repository visitors versus number of items,
full-text, ... in the repository.

Questions to figure out include:

- Are more visits being generated when items contain full-text bitstreams,
comparing to items without bitstreams
- How do distributions between hits generated through search engines,
referring sites and direct traffic relate to eachother, for different
repositories.
- How big is the impact of the dominant language, used in a repository & in
item metadata on the number of visitors

To make sure that "number of visitors" and other figures, are comparable, *we
are looking for repositories that have (at least) six months of google
analytics data (where the analytics script was included in the dspace
footer, so that each pageview, or hit has been recorded), that are willing
to share some key figures*.

Our ambition is to detect possible correlations or anomalies. It would be
great if a general conclusion could arise that a number of X items in your
repository (in english) tend to generate a number of X monthly visits
through search engines, but this might be a bit far-fetched (although a
current comparison with 3 repositories already looks promising).

Any questions or comments are greatly appreciated. Especially if you know of
research that has already done this ;)

with best regards,

Bram Luyten

Dear Members!

Unfortunately it seems, that in our site (http://snap.archivum.ws/dspace), the handle server is not running.
If I click on a handle.net lin, it gives me the 'Error - Cannot Connect to Server'.

Unfortunately I'm a new colleague here, so who installed dspace has already left us.

I tried to start Handle Server in two ways:
1.

Hi Bram,

We routinely include Google Analytics with all the services on Open 
Repository - we've also tied it in to the bitstream download tags, to 
include pageviews for bitstream downloaded.

I'll need to contact the repository admins first to check that they are 
happy with sharing the statistics, then I can arrange access for you to 
any that agree.

Hi Bram and Graham,

we have used Google Analytics in our repository oa.doria.fi since 
september 2007. We use two GA accounts to separate E-thesis sub 
repository ethesis.helsinki.fi/en from the rest of the Doria repository. 
Please contact me so I can grant access to our accounts.

Graham, we are very interested to tie bitstream download tags to our GA 
accounts. Was it easy to do? Can you guide us how to do this?

Best regards,
Samu Viita

Subject: [Dspace-general] Looking for (DSpace) Repositories using

          Google       Analytics

To: dspace <dspace-general at mit.edu>

Message-ID:

Hello,

 

we're currently initiating a small research exercise, where we try to

analyse & compare number of repository visitors versus number of items,

full-text, ... in the repository.

 

Questions to figure out include:

 

- Are more visits being generated when items contain full-text
bitstreams,

comparing to items without bitstreams

- How do distributions between hits generated through search engines,

referring sites and direct traffic relate to eachother, for different

repositories.

- How big is the impact of the dominant language, used in a repository &
in

item metadata on the number of visitors

 

To make sure that "number of visitors" and other figures, are
comparable, *we

are looking for repositories that have (at least) six months of google

analytics data (where the analytics script was included in the dspace

footer, so that each pageview, or hit has been recorded), that are
willing

to share some key figures*.

 

Our ambition is to detect possible correlations or anomalies. It would
be

great if a general conclusion could arise that a number of X items in
your

repository (in english) tend to generate a number of X monthly visits

through search engines, but this might be a bit far-fetched (although a

current comparison with 3 repositories already looks promising).

 

Any questions or comments are greatly appreciated. Especially if you
know of

research that has already done this ;)

 

with best regards,

 

Bram Luyten

Dear Members!

 

Unfortunately it seems, that in our site
(http://snap.archivum.ws/dspace), the handle server is not running.

If I click on a handle.net lin, it gives me the 'Error - Cannot Connect
to Server'.

 

Unfortunately I'm a new colleague here, so who installed dspace has
already left us.

 

I tried to start Handle Server in two ways:

1. 

osasite:~# /usr/local/dspace/bin/start-handle-server

Nothing has happened, the error log said:

Message-ID: <844158.86185.qm@web8708.mail.in.yahoo.com>


Delhi University Library System (DULS) has announced the International Conference on Academic Libraries (ICAL-2009) from October 5-8, 2009 and launched its websites at a special function, organised at University of Delhi, on 21-01-2009.
?
Hon?ble Prof. B.L. Mungekar, Member Planning Commission and Patron, ICAL-2009; Hon?ble Prof. Deepak Pental, Vice Chancellor, University of Delhi, holding the Conference Chair ICAL-2009; Hon?ble Prof. S.K. Tandon, Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University of Delhi and Chairman, Organising Committee, ICAL-2009; and about 200 library professionals, members of the faculty attended the function to launch the International Conference on Academic Libraries scheduled to be held from October 5 to 8, 2009 by the Delhi University Library System (DULS), University of Delhi.
?
Generally the conferences are announced through various means and then conducted. Launching of a conference is a rare event. But that is what the difference we would like to create between other conferences and this one. Such difference in approach provides credibility, authenticity, publicity, and way to show the hard work in developing various facets on which we desired to conduct a serious business.? 
?
This conference is being organized in the backdrop of the perception with which the Government wanted to strengthen the higher education system in India and with excellence. The Ministry of Human Resource Development has been striving for excellence in higher education. Such expressions have been noticed in the much talked about, The Moily Committee Report which stated that, ? A society which excludes its significant section of its population from access to higher education, cannot be said to be providing equality of opportunity. Equally, if academic excellence gets compromised in the process of expansion, it would loose its competitive edge in the emerging knowledge society ? an edge which can propel India into a position of global leadership.? The statement in all sense is most significant in terms of equality of opportunity as well as achieving excellence in the emerging knowledge society. 
?
The Terms of Reference for the Knowledge Commission has also recognized this fact and stated that ?Build excellence in the educational system to meet the knowledge challenges of the 21st century and increase India?s competitive advantage in fields of knowledge?. Out of the many facets, which are in the domain of the Knowledge Commission, Library has been considered to be the key to access the knowledge. 
?
The two similar statements of different Commissions have a common ethos, i.e. excellence in academics. Though, we do not undermine that during the teaching and learning process the source of excellence are those who impart instructions to students i.e. teachers. But equally the source of excellence is also those who make the students understand through well organized storehouse of knowledge, i.e. libraries and their staff who put in long hours at their workplaces to build and maintain and service these knowledge storehouses. We are very sure that, to clap we need both the hands. In this context, while one hand is the esteemed teaching fraternity and other hand are the libraries. 
?
Government has already given the wish list to open up new universities and conduct the higher education with excellence. While, every stream of work in the establishment of the universities will be performed by various segments of people who matters, the library professionals also have to play an important role in providing the input to such universities of how best the libraries can be established in the 21st Century.
?
It is in this backdrop that the library fraternity, decided to have a serious deliberations involving national and international experts. The conceptual framework on which the entire conference has been built up is based on the famous report of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) in 2007 which has world over a deep impact on the future of academic libraries. I may not go into the details on the assumptions that were made by ACRL as they are part of the conception on which this conference is being organized. 
The Conference is being organized to come up with a vision for next generation academic libraries in order to meet the challenge of knowledge society, in giving the country a competitive edge in knowledge economy. The conference will provide an international platform to all stakeholders to address all issues of importance to academic libraries, discuss and debate roles that academic libraries can play in the higher education system in developed and developing countries with particular reference to India by 2020.
?
We are happy to inform you that keeping in view the importance of the issue that we intend to deal seriously through this conference, the Hon?ble Vice Chancellors of Jawaharlal Nehru University, Jamia Milia Islamia, Indira Gandhi National Open University, Indraprastha University also have agreed to associate themselves with this conference and be part of Vice-Chancellor?s Advisory Committee which will have the visionary role. They have also blessed the launching.. ?
The scope of the conference will be: knowledge sharing, ICT management, digital repository management, e-teaching, e-tutorials, stronger library-faculty relationships, stronger library-corporate relationships and user centric services.
?
It will be first time that the members of the corporate sector will have an opportunity to deliberate with library professionals on user-centric issues leaving aside the commercial issues and I will be contacting number of CEOs to be part of the deliberation. We intend to devote one day to discuss very difficult issues of user-vender-library relationships. We also intend to involve some of the management gurus having expertise with the concept of Change Management and tailor the same with modern library management. 
?
The conference will provide an opportunity to identify the strengths and gaps in the academic library system, suggest new management models, best practices, techniques and mechanisms, policies, and national and international programmes for reshaping academic libraries into next generation libraries for the higher education.
The Conference is being organized with Objectives to:
???????? Identify strategies for improving library performance in the context of local factors, constraints and circumstances; 
???????? Evolve new frameworks, new programmes for national and international collaboration and cooperation for pooling and sharing resources to improve information access to support education, research, and learning;
???????? Evolve policies, programmes, and strategies for governmental approval and eventually their implementation for holistic development of academic? libraries in terms of tools, techniques, procedures, practices and systems for the management of library operations, services, and facilities with efficiency and effectiveness; and 
???????? Identifying university library vision for 2020 and the roles they should perform in realizing this vision.
The Outcome Planned is to: 
1.????? Develop a Road Map to reposition academic libraries to the centre stage of the education system in developed and developing countries with particular reference to India;
2.????? Come up with a draft policy framework for consideration of the policy makers as a means to implement the proposed road map; 
3.????? Identify best practices in all the spheres of academic library management, in particular digital repository management; 
4.????? Prepare mid-career in-service professionals for digital library management to enable them to take on increasingly demanding leadership roles in academic libraries;
5.????? Identify? new roles in the knowledge economy that academic libraries and librarians would need to play in teaching and learning process; and 
6.????? Outlining programmes for academic library advocacy.
The Major Sub-Themes of the Conference are:
1.????? Vision & Roles of the Future Academic Libraries
2.????? Technology, Policy and Innovation 
3.????? Change Management
4.????? ?Library Vendor/ Publisher Interface
5.????? ?Management Models and Framework, Library Services
6.????? Advocacy
?
Utmost pain has been taken in preparing an online website (http://library.du.ac.in/ocs and http://crl.du.ac.in/ical09? first of its kind in propagating the conference, we have also worked out guidelines for peer review of the papers which will be received online and manually and hope to generate a draft report for consideration by various authorities.
?
On this occasion Prof. Mungekar released the conference broucher which is enclosed with this press release and Prof. Deepak Pental, Vice Chancellor, University of Delhi had launched the Online and static webside. Prof. S.K. Tandon, Pro-Vice Chancellor had addressed the occasion in the capacity of Chairman, Organsing Committee.?

4th International Conference on e-Learning
at the University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada
16-17 July 2009

The International Conference on e-Learning (ICEL-2009) invites  
researchers, practitioners and academics to present their research  
findings, work in progress, case studies and conceptual advances in  
areas of work where education and technology intersect. The  
conference brings together varied groups of people with different  
perspectives, experiences and knowledge in one location. It aims to  
help practitioners find ways of putting research into practice and  
researchers to gain an understanding of real-world problems, needs  
and aspirations.

In it?s fourth year, we are delighted to be bringing the conference  
to the campus of The University of Toronto. Located on the northern  
shore of Lake Ontario, Toronto is Canada?s largest city. With a  
population of over 2.5 million, Toronto is the 5th largest  
municipality in North America. The cosmopolitan mixture of the  
population form a microcosm of the cultural mosaic that is endemic in  
Canadian society.

We look forward to welcoming participants from all over the world and  
I hope that you will be able to join us.

Avi Hyman
Conference Chair
University of Toronto.

Hello Bram,

We have been using Google Analytics with our DSpace repository as of 
July 2007. We've also configured the bitstream download link so that it 
would be included in the Google Analytics logs. You are welcome to use 
this data in your research. Please contact me so that we can arrange access.

I am not aware of any similar research using data from Google Analytics, 
however I  noticed that Cybermetrics Lab - which among other things 
publishes the "Ranking Web of World Repositories" -  is also interested 
in Google Analytics data for the repository ranking, see "Proposal to 
webmasters for 2009 edition" at http://repositories.webometrics.info/

Best regards,
Jonas Gilbert

You will find a guide for installing DSpace on windows posted on the

hope that helps,

Michele KImpton



Dear Member,
I have recently subscribed to the mailing list of Dspace, i want to  
say that
i tried my level best to install Dspace on my system but unfortunately  
it is
not working especially agter PostgreeSQl is installed and it shows  
errors in
installing ant fresh,. i t is my suggestion that a simple tutorial  
regarding
the installation of Dspace on Windows Xp SP2 may be provided to all such
members so that that could also become the part of Dspace.
Thanks and all the best

Thanks Jonas,

I replied also off-list to arrange access.
At the moment I am already looking at data from several people who gave me
access, and some of the differences are remarkable.

Comparing Visits & number of items for December 2008

*Comparing Data for December 2008*
1. 67667 visits for 39868 items, which amounts to 1,69 visits per item
2. 38128 visits for 3783 items, which amounts to 10,07 visits per item
3. 22462 visits for 176400 items, which amounts to 0,1273 visits per item
4. 366 visits for 1300 items, which amounts to 0,28 visits per item
5. 722 visits for 3500 items, which amounts to 0,20 visits per item

For repositories 1 and 2, local impact is very high, over 60% of those
visits come from the country where the repository is located.
It will surely be interesting to investigate further how you can influence
whether you're running an 10 visits per item or 0,12 visits per item
repository !

If more people would like to share Google Analytics data, or just check out
how many visits they had in December 2008, and comparing this to the number
of items (based on google analytics data only please), this would be great.

best regards,

Bram

Dear list members,

currently, 9 repositories agreed to collaborate already, but it would be
nice to have at least 20 repositories (4% of the 500 DSpace instances), in
order to draw up some relevant averages etc.

If you have google analytics data and willing to share, you're still more
than welcome. If there are relevant findings, they will be compiled into a
paper or some sort of recommendation // best practice document. *Furthermore,
if you provide data, you get access to the Google Spreadsheet document in
which we compile all sorts of raw data and comparisons*. (this will give you
immediate feedback on how your repository compares to others).

This small research exercise is far from a black box, and your involvement
is greatly appreciated.

with best regards,

Bram Luyten

Does anyone using the batch import have any tips or tricks on how to package
items into the DSpace archive format they would be willing to share?
Specifically, I'm looking for something that might work with MS Excel-- an
export function that takes publication lists in Excel (plus full-text in a
separate directory) and puts them into the ingest format?

I have a Perl script that builds item importer batches from TSV
metadata tables, which someone else exports from Excel.  My script has
a number of idiosyncrasies specific to the material we've been
receiving, but it might serve as a model.

I've been meaning to redo it in Java so I can use POI to read directly
from the spreadsheets, but haven't had much time to work on that.

Hi Joseph--

Tom McGee at Seton Hall (mcgeetho at shu.edu) has put together what you're 
looking for. It's an Excel spreadsheet that processes DSpace submission 
packages. Here's a page we've put together at OhioLINK describing the 
process step-by-step:

Download link is at the bottom of the page. (NOTE: Tom may have made 
changes to the code since this version.)

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,
John Davison
