Digital Library is where knowledge resources are electronically (or digitally) archived in digital environment. It also includes reference materials or resources accessible on Internet. The collections of such resources are managed through an appropriate software application. Digital Library supports knowledge sharing and manages the corporate knowledge in an organized manner.
DSpace is a groundbreaking digital repository system (from Massachusetts Institute of Technology) to capture, store, index, preserve and redistribute digital resources online. This open sourced web application can be deployed in Intranet, Internet and independent systems. The application supports unlimited number of digital items and file types.
Contents in Digital Library are stored in hierarchical clusters. There are three major hierarchies namely Communities, Collections and Items. Communities are main divisions; Collections are subdivisions or titles; and Items have many files. DSpace provides no restriction for the number of Communities, Collections, Items and files under each Item.
Users are given permission to register themselves in DSpace and an administrator defines their roles. An unregistered user can browse and search for information in Digital Library. However, only the registered users can subscribe and submit items for the repository.
Bosco InfoTech provides technical support to install, customize, enhance and extend your Digital Library.
