13. SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS ……( IN 500 WORDS )
As the title of theproposal submitted for minor research paper isthe" create institutional repository in Bhalerao Science College, Saoner " mainly the study was carried out by collecting data from various departments lecturer on their research papers and phd theses and College examination papers and university examination papers. All the data was scan and then upload in dspace software for the use of collection.
Introduction
An Institutional Repository (IR) is a digital archive where a university or college community’s intellectual work is made accessible and preserved for posterity. The concept of IR suggests the tantalizing possibility of greater library influence over the full cycle of scholarly communication on campus, from research through publication, collection, and preservation. Libraries are performing lead role in shaping institutional digital repositories all over the world.
· Published, peer-reviewed literature
· Research Materials
· Theses
· Conference Proceedings
· Old Question Papers
· Photographs
Ø Developing a Service Definition
Ø Survey academic literature to be digitized
Ø Install hardware and software systems
Ø Batch load existing collections
Ø Setting up new content collections
Ø Launching a Service
Ø Running a Service
Ø Long term tasks – running the system, growing the service, etc.
As DSpace installation is very easy and stores all types of data like Ph.D theses, faculty publications, lecture notes, student’s dissertations, learning objects, PG level & NET/ SET question papers, links to open knowledge objects, project reports, gray literature, un-published theses, necessary photographs etc. successfully and enables the upload from every terminal with fantastic user interface so the researcher has selected DSpace for digitization project. The necessary Software and Installation of DSpace include the following software (version may change) . and also you can obtain latest stable source (version from http://www.dspace.org/latestrelease/
Dspace Installation
Local library version of Dpace software was chosen and installed with the steps 10 involved for installation.
The survey of literature and data collection was carried out by visiting the nearby libraries and the departments and contacting the peoples working in this field. The visiting to the far places was not possible. The journals were subscribed by giving order.
Dspace being a open-source software is readily extensible, and benefits from the inclusion of BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution ) licenced modules for full-text retrieval, database management, and text extraction from proprietary document formats.The code for Dspace slept within a source code control system available from http://dspace.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dspace/. This system allows code to be added or modified over time, whilst maintaining a track of all changes and a note of why the change was made and who made it.
Digital libraries will be ubiquitous in the future and will provide the basis for a very broad set of distributed living activities including computer-supported cooperative work, distance learning, electronic commerce and entertainment. The transition to an electronic information workplace has already begun in full force.
It provides a leadership role in the on-line development and application of worldwide access to digital library services. Development of this technology provides valuable fundamental research and supports the broader goal of research and education through improved means for collaboration and distance learning. We believe that digital libraries will significantly impact the quality of education and, indeed, the quality of life over the next decade. The development of digital libraries may be viewed as a fundamental contribution to research in all disciplines. Thus, through international cooperative efforts digital library softwares like dspace should sufficiently become comprehensive to meet the world’s needs with the richness and flexibility that users deserve.
