Info

This Working Group is active. For additional information regarding the work of this Working Group, or to become a DSpace storyteller, please contact the facilitator, Carol Minton Morris, cmmorris@duraspace.org.

 

Context: A key aspect of DSpace Marketing Interest Group efforts focus on growing our open source community and actively engaging its members. The Telling DSpace Stories Working Group of the DSpace Marketing Interest Group aims to increase interactions and build deeper connections between community members and institutions by creating and publishing stories about their DSpace repositories. The stories will be generated from information gathered as community members from one institution interview members from other institutions. The DSpace stories will be published widely throughout the DSpace and DuraSpace communities to raise awareness about the global impact and reach of DSpace open access repositories, while encouraging other community members to participate in telling their DSpace stories. 

...

  • Stories generated by the Telling DSpace Stories Working Group as published blog posts to publicize current community activities;

  • Guidelines including a basic story structure, links to examples of Stories and suggested interview questions;

  • Interview transcripts that may be interesting to readers and published in lieu of a DSpace Story;

  • Material for use in DuraSpace QuickBytes;
