“…2 What is meant by intellectual output is not so clear. Writers have described intellectual works, narrowly, as scholarly works, 3 and more broadly as digital materials created by the institution and its community members.…”

In this paper the author compares the use of digital materials that have been deposited in The Ohio State University (OSU) Knowledge Bank (KB). Comparisons are made for content considered in scope of the university archives and those considered out of scope, for materials originating from different campus sources, and for different types of content. Results show that both mediated and unmediated content is used and therefore justifies the preservation costs for unmediated content. Results also show articles and undergraduate theses are most frequently used type of materials leading to the conclusion that it is important to collect content from all levels of the educational process.

“…In it, the authors suggest that the technical implementation of DSpace requires only local adjustments, if any; but, as MIT did, they emphasize the need for librarians to take time to plant the idea of DSpace, to allow it to take root, and then to nourish it. 20 In their 2006 book entitled The Institutional Repository, Jones and his colleagues point out how innovations spread in other industries and the need for librarians to adopt similar strategies. 21 They also recount their experience in implementing an IR at the University of Edinburgh Research Archive.…”

“…Studies are dealing with the technical description. Some studies are on the experience of applying DSpace in their institution, and also use evaluation of DSpace (Baudoin & Branschofsky, 2003;Smith et al, 2003;Tansley, Bass, & Smith, 2003). Some studies are related to the comparative study between DSpace, Fedora, Greenstone, Eprint software (Khan, 2019;Tramboo, Shafi, & Gul, 2012).…”

DSpace, a free and open-source software (FOSS) provides the digital platform for building collections of an institution. Due to the lack of the skills to install and configure DSpace, librarians are incapable to conduct it even after the awareness about it. Identifying challenges about DSpace installation is vital to increase its use by librarians. Hence, it aims to explore the understanding of DSpace installation among librarians and to identify aspects of their experiences and feelings while installing DSpace. Librarians' experiences and feelings are important for accepting the software. Librarians were interviewed during the training program conducted on digital library technology from December 2020 to January 2021. Two groups were distinguishing from each other: one is with a library science background and another is with computer science and engineering background. The second group aswas self-sustained to install DSpace, once they got the guidelines for installation. Their views were reflected with the code terms status, exploration, feeling, activities, preferences, and inadequacy. Through their experiences, the aspects of challenges are the less experience of using the command line in computer use, the unavailability of teaching courses on Linux operating system in Library and Information Science (LIS) education, and the lack of self-exploration habits. Practice to Linux commands, incorporate the Linux in the Library Science course, self-exploration, and consistent effort will help librarians in installing DSpace by themselves. Finally, librarians should internalize their goal to act as the administrator for the DSpace, not only as of the operator.
