What are your goals for OA Week 2013?
DuraSpace wants to share the story of DSpace repository success in providing African organizations and institutions with a tool for managing, preserving and creating open access to formerly “locked down” knowledge and culture. This open source, easy-to-use repository application has been instrumental in providing universities and institutions with a tool for creating open access. In 2004 there were 9 DSpace instances in Africa. Due the efforts of DSpace Ambassadors and other community outreach efforts that number has increased to 47+ today.

Preservation and Open Access to shared heritage matter: "We need to remember, period."

Digitization of fragile film and video resources is the first step towards making sure they are preserved into the future. Yale University's department of Manuscripts and Archives published an example of a video from The Fortunoff Video Archive Holocaust Testimonies, a historic collection of over 4,400 videotaped interviews with witnesses and survivors of the Holocaust, to demonstrate how important it is not only to digitize video resources, but to do it as soon as possible.…
