DSpace Value Proposition

Discuss and gather feedback from Leaders on the value proposition for DSpace, as a means to seed discussion and work by the Membership Engagement Group and related groups in our efforts to recruit new users and members.

Leaders will break into 4 randomly assigned groups.

We will take 25 minutes for breakout discussions and then return for 20 minutes to report out and discuss with the whole group.

Guide for breakout discussions:

• Record group members in the notes document.
• Identify reporter to report highlights of the discussion out to the larger group.
• Each group will discuss the following topics/questions and report back to the full group:
  • • What is the DSpace value proposition for your institution? What are the most important reasons your institution uses DSpace?
    • Which parts of the value proposition do you think are most unique to DSpace (versus true of all repository platforms)?
    • What do you think would be the most compelling arguments for DSpace membership targeted at (a) library administrators (b) repository managers (c) software developers / technology folks or (d) other audiences?
    • Who at your institution makes decisions about (a) which platforms to use and (b) where to devote financial resources to for support of open source/open access?
