In this EIFL webinar (about 1 hour 30 minutes) four experts on DSpace answer common questions about DSpace free and open source software for repositories. Questions and answers are grouped under the following topics:

• DSpace repository installation
• Repository management (metadata, metadata entry and other issues)
• Sustaining DSpace - maintenance, installing upgrades and improvements
• DSpace customizations

The four experts are David Bukenya and Fredrick Odongo (Uganda Christian University), Daniel Deogratus (Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology, Tanzania) and Felix Rop (University of Nairobi, Kenya).
