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. Participants will explore models for managing content within DSpace by examining examples of successful institutional repositories. 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 register yourself or a colleague for this program, please send an e-mail with the program's title and registrant's name, job title, and e-mail address to participate <at> nitle <dot> org. NITLE will accept registrations on a first-come, first-served basis. NITLE will also invoice the registered participant (or an identified billing contact) for the participant's registration fee. Please note that participating institutions that are currently enrolled in the "comprehensive" and "defined" participation programs may opt to receive registration invoices on a rolling basis or to have individual registration invoices held and later included with the institution's renewal invoice in May 2008.
To ensure a positive participation experience in this online program, participants who are new or newer to multipoint interactive videoconferencing (MIV) are required to successfully complete training in the use of MIV. Complete information regarding available training times will be sent directly to the participant upon acceptance to the brown bag. Training options will include a "Do-It-Yourself" option, including a hands-on, informal "Water Cooler" session, or Level 1 training: "Collaborate with MIV." Both training options will help new and newer users of MIV feel comfortable within the virtual MIV environment, learn how to use its interactive tools, and otherwise learn how to participate and contribute successfully within MIV.
