Page History

...

This space is thought to make it easy for DSpace users in South Africa to share information about their activities, projects, events and ideas and to make them known to the global DSpace Community. In South Africa there are 41 37 installations and a vibrant community of users. This page and its sub-pages are the platform to coordinate the collaboration among South African institutions in order to facilitate discussions on Country specific themes and topics of interest.

...

In the DuraSpace Registry there are information about the DSpace installations currently running in South Africa.

 Please take a moment to look for your Institution and check whether the information is correct. If your institution is missing, you can add it here:  https://duraspace.org/registry/register-your-site/

...

There is an existing WIKI space that contains information about DSpace in South Africa and basic useful information: https://wiki.lib.sun.ac.za/index.php/SUNScholar/DSpace

That space won't be updated anymore and all is currently out of date, and mainly serves as a reference for the Stellenbosch University implementation. All the additional information will be shares shared using this new official WIKI space.

...

DSpace is using Slack as communication platform. Within slack there is a new channel for the South African DSpace User Group: #dspace-za . Please use this form to request to join the DSpace Slack channel. After joining the main DSpace Slack channel, just look for #dspace-za and add it to your list.
