This space is thought to make it easy for DSpace users in Switzerland to share information about their activities, projects, events and ideas and to make them known to the global DSpace Community. This page and its sub-pages are the platform to coordinate the collaboration among Swiss institutions in order to facilitate discussions on Country specific themes and topics of interest.
1. Who is using DSpace in Switzerland?
In the Duraspace Registry there is information about the DSpace installations currently running in Switzerland. 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/
2. How to communicate?
There are numerous ways to get in touch, both at a global level with the general DSpace Community and at the specific country level.
