Participants in this skills development session will further their understandings of how to manage digital content within a DSpace Repository. This ninety-minute course assumes that participants are familiar with content from the "Start an Institutional Repository Using DSpace" skills development session.

The event will also cover topics such as levels of authorization and how to protect content, licensing options, and various ways to make content easier to find in DSpace.
Interested faculty and staff from participating colleges: To participate in this program, please contact your liaison, who will let you know whether your institution has program units available to support your participation. If so, your liaison will contact NITLE to register you to participate. (Note that campus policies on the use of program units vary.
