All About DSpaceDirect

On February 22, 2013, the United States White House issued a directive supporting public access to publicly funded research. Specifically, the directive states that each agency that falls under the provisions of the directive must “ensure that the public can read, download, and analyze in digital form final peer reviewed manuscripts or final published documents” that are the direct outputs of funded research.* In order to assist organizations meet this mandate as well as to continue to meet the needs of the academic community, the DuraSpace organization will be launching DSpaceDirect – a quick and cost effective hosted service that allows users to store, organize, and manage DSpace repository content in the cloud. The “All About DSpaceDirect” poster will demonstrate how a hosted DSpace service can be used to preserve and provide access to academic faculty and student papers, projects, and research making content easily searchable by end users and easily managed by content curators.
