DSpaceDirect Subscriptions are are priced based on the total GB of storage needed for your account. You can see our subscription options here. Accounts requiring storage over 250 GB require a custom quote; contact us and we will be happy to help you.

Add-On Packages

DSpaceDirect offers several optional add-on packages to help meet your repository needs. Details for each package are below, and you can review pricing on the DSpaceDirect website.

Additional Storage

DSpaceDirect can allow for up to 1 TB of total storage (both content and index) per account. 

Migrating Content 

DuraSpace can migrate content out of existing DSpace repositories (any version), or out of other systems that can export metadata to a CSV file. We cannot migrate content out of proprietary repository systems such as CONTENTdm and BePress.

For detailed information about content migration, see our Content Migration Information Sheet. 

Customized Submission Process & Metadata Fields

DSpaceDirect accounts include the default DSpace metadata fields, default submission fields, default OAI-PMH fields and default search, browse, and discover filters. You can review these default fields here. Your institution can customize these fields and other aspects of the submissions process (such as licenses and advanced embargoes) for a one time fee. For details see the Enhanced Submission Process and Metadata Form.

Enhanced Branding

Limited customization and branding is included in our basic subscriptions. We include up to two hours of customization work. You can see examples of basic customized DSpaceDirect sites by reviewing our sample sites: Sample Site 1 and Sample Site 2.

If you require more extensive branding, our enhanced branding add-on package increases the time spent on customization to five hours. This time can be spent to more closely match (to the extent possible) the look and feel of your institution’s web site. The enhanced branding package is an annual fee to cover the time needed to ensure your custom branding is migrated to new versions of DSpace.

For a detailed overview of what branding and customization is included in the default DSpaceDirect subscription and options for enhanced branding see our Enhanced Branding Information Sheet.

Custom URL

By default DSpaceDirect repositories have a DSpaceDirect URL: repositoryname.dspacedirect.org. If you would like to redirect to a URL on your institutions website, you can add the custom URL package for a one-time fee. Please note that in order to set up a custom URL, you must be able to manage your institution’s DNS or request changes of your institution’s DNS, as well as provide a valid SSL certificate. It is a good idea to discuss these requirements with your institution's website adminstrator prior to starting your subscription.

Local Authentication

Local authentication is available for DSpaceDirect repositories or restricted collections within a repository as part of the LDAP and Location-Based Authentication Package or the Shibboleth Authentication Package. For detailed information see the Customized Authentication Information Sheet.

Extended Support

All DSpaceDirect plans come with access to a customer support ticket system for 10 free support requests annually.  The Extended Support Package allows unlimited access to our customer support ticket system for support needs, questions, and other issues. This package is espcially useful for large migration accounts.
