Institutions Will Help Fine-Tune a Popular New Archiving Program - DAN CARNEVALE, the Chronicle
Six major research universities announced this week that they are working with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to fine-tune an MIT program for archiving scholarly works called DSpace, which has become wildly popular in academe in just a few months. The six institutions are Columbia University, Cornell University, Ohio State University, the University of Rochester, the University of Toronto, and the University of Washington at Seattle. Together with MIT and the University of Cambridge, they will form a group called the DSpace Federation and test the archiving software. The software is free and open source, which means the users can read and change the source code so they can customize it to their liking.
