<p>DSpace captures, distributes and preserves digital research products.
Here you can find articles, working papers, preprints, technical reports, conference papers
and data sets in various digital formats. Content grows daily as new communities
and collections are added to DSpace.</p>
<p>The DSpace content is organized
around Communities which can correspond to administrative entities such as schools,
departments, labs and research centers. Within each community there can be an
unlimited number subcommunities and an unlimited number of collections. Each collection
may contain an unlimited number of items.</p>

<p><strong>Browse</strong> allows you to go through a list of items in some specified order:</p>
<p><strong>Browse by Community/Collection</strong> takes you through the communities in alphabetical
order and allows you to see the subcommunities and collections within each community.</p>
<p><strong>Browse by Title</strong> allows you to move through an alphabetical list of all titles of items in DSpace.</p>
<p><strong>Browse by Author</strong> allows you to move through an alphabetical list of all authors of items in DSpace.</p>
<p><strong>Browse by Date </strong>allows you to move through a list of all items in DSpace in reverse chronological order.</p>
<p><strong>You may sign on to the system if you:</strong> </p>
<ul>
<li>wish to subscribe to a collection and receive e-mail updates when new items are added</li>
<li>wish to go to the &quot;My DSpace&quot; page that tracks your subscriptions and other interactions with
DSpace requiring authorization (if you are a submitter for a collection, for instance.)</li>
<li>wish to edit your profile</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Submit</strong> is the DSpace
function that enables users to add an item to DSpace. The process of submission
includes filling out information about the item on a metadata form and uploading
the file(s) comprising the digital item. Each community sets its own submission
policy.</p>
<p><strong>My DSpace</strong> is a personal
page that is maintained for each member. This page can contain a list of items
that are in the submission process for a particular member, or a task list of
items that need attention such as editing, reviewing, or checking. In the future
this page will also maintain information about personal services offered by
DSpace, such as e-mail notification when new items are added to a collection.</p>
<p><strong>Edit Profile</strong> allows
you to change your password.</p>
<p><strong>About</strong> takes you to
information about the DSpace project and its development.</p>

<p>To search all of DSpace,
use the yellow search box at the top of the navigation bar on the left (or the
search box in the middle of the home page)</p>
<p align="center"> <img src="searchtop.gif" alt="Search Box" width="119" height="53" />
</p>
<p> To limit your search to
a specific community or collection, navigate to that community or collection
and use the search bar on that page.</p>
<p align="center"> <img src="searchother.gif" alt="Search Box" width="253" height="69" /></p>
<p>DSpace uses the<strong> Jakarta
Lucene </strong>search engine. Here are some search hints:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>What is searched in
the general keyword search (yellow box)<br />
</strong>The word(s) you enter in the search box will be searched against the title,
author, subject abstract, series, sponsor and identifier fields of each item's
record. </p>
<p>If your site is enabled for full-text searching, the text you entered will also be
searched against the full text of all archived documents. For more information on full-text
searching please contact
your <a href="#admin">DSpace Administrator</a>. </p>
<p><strong>What is not searched
- Stop Words<br />
</strong>The<strong> </strong>search engine ignores certain words that occur frequently in
English, but do not add value to the search. These are: </p>
<p align="center"> "a", "and"
, "are" , "as" , "at" , "be" , "but" , "by" , "for" , "if" , "in" , "into",
</p>
<p align="center">"is" ,"it"
,"no" , "not" , "of" , "on" , "or" , "such", "the" , "to" , "was"</p>
<p><strong>Truncation<br />
</strong>Use an asterisk (*) after a word stem to get all hits having words starting
with that root, for example: </p>
<blockquote>
<p><img src="search1.gif" alt="" width="75" height="27" />&nbsp;&nbsp;
will retrieve selects, selector, selectman, selecting. </p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Stemming <br />
</strong>The search engine automatically expands words with common endings to include
plurals, past tenses ...etc.</p>
<p><strong>Phrase Searching</strong><br />
To search using multiple words as a phrase, put quotation marks (&quot;) around
the phrase.</p>
<p><img src="search8.jpg" alt="" width="196" height="28" />
</p>
<p><strong>Exact word match</strong><br />
Put a plus (+) sign before a word if it MUST appear in the search result.
For instance, in the following search the word &quot;training&quot; is optional,
but the word &quot;dog&quot; must be in the result. </p>
<blockquote>
<p><img src="search2.gif" alt="" width="123" height="27" /></p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Eliminate items with
unwanted words<br />
</strong>Put a minus (-) sign before a word if it should not appear in the search
results. Alternatively, you can use <strong>NOT</strong>. This can limit your search
to eliminate unwanted hits. For instance, in the search</p>
<blockquote>
<p><img src="search3.jpg" alt="" width="124" height="28" />
&nbsp; or &nbsp; <img src="search4.jpg" alt="" width="136" height="28" /></p>
</blockquote>
<p>you will get items containing
the word &quot;training&quot;, except those that also contain the word &quot;cat&quot;.</p>
<p><strong>Boolean searching</strong></p>
<p>The following Boolean
operators can be used to combine terms. Note that they must be CAPITALIZED
!</p>
<p><strong>AND</strong> - to limit
searches to find items containing all words or phrases combined with this
operator, e.g.</p>
<blockquote>
<p> <img src="search5.jpg" alt="" width="124" height="28" />
will retrieve all items that contain BOTH the words &quot;cats&quot; and
&quot;dogs&quot;.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>OR</strong> - to enlarge
searches to find items containing any of the words or phrases surrounding
this operator </p>
<blockquote>
<p><img src="search6.jpg" alt="" width="124" height="28" />
will retrieve all items that contain EITHER the words &quot;cats&quot; or
&quot;dogs&quot;.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>NOT - </strong>to exclude
items containing the word following this operator, e.g. </p>
<blockquote>
<p><img src="search4.jpg" alt="" width="136" height="28" />will
retrieve all items that contain the word &quot;training&quot; EXCEPT those
also containing the word &quot;cat&quot;.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Parentheses can be used
in the search query to group search terms into sets, and operators can then
be applied to the whole set, e.g.</p>
<p><img src="search7.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="28" />
</p>

<p>A controlled vocabulary is a set of terms which form a dictionary of descriptions
of particular types of content or subject matter. These are maintained by
standards bodies in order to standardise the way that similar materials are
categorised in archives. This aids searching by increasing the likelihood that
the relevant materials will be returned by the user's search.</p>
<p>Filtering the category list will remove from the list any terms which do not
match the filter. The remaining terms are any category or sub category which
contains the filter term anywhere in the heirarchy. Expanding each category
will show you which terms (or sub terms) did match the filter.</p>
<p>To search the archive items by the subject category, check as many boxes next
to the categories as necessary, before clicking "Search...". The search will
return all items that either match the categories selected exactly, or which
are categorised underneath a higher level category. Clicking on the "+" next
to the category will expand the tree to show you what refinements are available
for your selected category.</p>

older items that have already been distributed or published, click in the
"yes" box. You will receive a form prompting you for several pieces of information
relating to publication.</p>
<p>* Multiple files - An
item can consist of more than one file in DSpace. A common example of this would be
an HTML file with references to image files (such as JPG or GIF files). Another example
of this would be an article supplemented with a video simulation and a data file.
If you are submitting more than one file for this item, click in the "yes"
box. </p>

<p align="center"><img src="athena-netscape-1.jpg" alt="broswe box" width="453" height="382" /></p>
<p align="center">Click
to the right of the &quot;*.html&quot; in the top text box, and remove
the &quot;.html&quot; with the backspace key, but leave the &quot;*&quot;.
Then, click on the &quot;Filter&quot; button at the bottom of the window.
You will then see all of your files, like this:</p>
<p align="center"><img src="athena-netscape-2.jpg" alt="broswe select box" width="453" height="382" /></p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Once the correct file name
is in the input box, click on the &quot;next&quot; button to proceed.</p>
<p><a name="filedescription"></a><strong>File Description</strong></p>
<p>If you specified at the
beginning of the submit process that you had more than one file to upload for
this item, you will see an input box marked &quot;<strong>File Description</strong>&quot;.
The information you provide here will help users to understand what information
is in each file, for instance, &quot;main article&quot; or &quot;images&quot;
or &quot;computer program&quot; or &quot;data set&quot;. Enter file descriptions
for each item, and click on the &quot;next&quot; button to proceed.</p>

<p>To properly archive and
give access to a file, we need to know what <em>format</em> it is, for example
"PDF", "HTML", or "Microsoft Word". If the system does not automatically recognize
the format of the file you have uploaded, you will be asked to describe it.
If the format of the file appears in the list offered, click on it and then
on &quot;Submit&quot;. If you can't see the format in the list, click on "format
not in list" and describe the format in the text box lower down on the page.
Be sure to give the name of the application you used to create the file and
the version of that application, for example &quot;Autodesk AutoCAD R20 for
UNIX&quot;.</p>
<p>For more information about file formats, see <a href="formats.jsp">DSpace Supported
Formats</a>.</p>
<p><strong><a name="uploadedfile"></a>Uploaded
File</strong></p>
<p>After you have uploaded
a file, check the information in the table to make sure it is correct. There
are two further ways to verify that your files have been uploaded correctly:</p>
<ul>
<li> Click on the filename.
This will download the file in a new browser window, so that you can check
the contents. </li>
<li>Compare the <a href="#checksum">file
checksum</a> displayed here with the checksum you calculate. </li>
</ul>
<p><strong>If you're only uploading
one file</strong>, click on "Next" when you're happy that the file has been uploaded
correctly.</p>
<p><strong>If you're uploading more
than one file</strong>, click on the &quot;Add Another File&quot; button (this will appear
if you checked "The item consists of more than one file" on the "Submit: Describe Your Item" page). When you
are satisfied that all files for this item have been successfully uploaded,
click on the &quot;Next&quot; button. </p>
<p><strong><a name="HTML"></a>If you're uploading an HTML page with embedded files</strong>,
click on the &quot;Add Another File&quot; button, and upload all files or bitstreams referenced
in the html page. After all the are uploaded, in the column marked &quot;Primary Bitstream&quot;,
select the bitstream or file that is the index page or the top page for the web page.
This will ensure that all of your embedded files will display properly on the HTML page.
Then click on the &quot;Next&quot; button.</p>
<p><strong><a name="checksum"></a>
Checksums </strong></p>
<p>DSpace generates an MD5
checksum for every file it stores; we use this checksum internally to verify
the integrity of files over time (a file's checksum shouldn't change). You can
use this checksum to be sure what we've received is indeed the file you've uploaded.</p>
<p>If you wish to verify the file using checksums, click "Show
checksums" on the "Uploaded File" page. The DSpace-generated MD5 checksum for
every file we've received from you will show to the right of the filename. You will
then need to use a local program to generate your own checksum for these files,
and verify that your results match ours. On most UNIX-like systems (including Mac OS X),
use md5sum. For instance, type "md5sum MYFILE" for every file you want to check;
the summary should print on your screen. For Windows machines, MD5
tools are freely available: try md5 (from <a
href="http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/">http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/</a>), or md5sum,
available via the textutils package in Cygwin (<a
href="http://www.cygwin.com/">http://www.cygwin.com/</a>). All of these utilities will
need to be run from a command-line, or terminal, window. The entire digest printed
out when you run the md5 tool on your local copy of the file you're uploading
should be exactly equal to what DSpace reports.</p>

<p>Now that your submission
has been successfully entered into the DSpace system, it will go through the
workflow process designated for the collection to which you are submitting.
Some collections require the submission to go through editing or review steps,
while others may immediately accept the submission. You will receive e-mail
notification as soon as your item has become a part of the collection, or if
for some reason there is a problem with your submission. If you have questions
about the workflow procedures for a particular collection, please contact the
community responsible for the collection directly. You can check on the status
of your submission by going to the My DSpace page.</p>

<p>When your item becomes a
part of the DSpace repository it is assigned a persistent URL. This means that,
unlike most URLs, this identifier will not have to be changed when the system
migrates to new hardware, or when changes are made to the system. DSpace
is committed to maintaining the integrity of this identifier
so that you can safely use it to refer to your item when citing it in publications
or other communications. Our persistent urls are registered with the <a href="http://www.handle.net/">Handle
System</a>, a comprehensive system for assigning, managing, and resolving persistent
identifiers, known as "handles," for digital objects and other resources on
