This EIFL webinar (1 hour) shares best practices on repository visibility, interconnectivity and software upgrades, and makes recommendations about resolving common problems.

See the webinar slides

• Connectivity and visibility of DSpace repositories - Friedrich Summann, CORE Operations Manager, addresses issues that can occur for the interconnectivity and visibility of DSpace repositories and gives some recommendations on how to resolve common problems. 
• COAR Controlled Vocabularies - Milica Ševkušić of the EIFL Open Access Programme talks about COAR Controlled Vocabularies, which are widely used and increasingly being integrated into repository platforms. Using controlled vocabularies enables repositories to be consistent in describing their resources, helps with search and discovery of content, and allows machine readability of resources. 
• Repository installation: General challenges - Michael Mutebi from our partner, the Consortium of Uganda University Libraries (CUUL) talks about their work in upgrading DSpace repositories in Uganda.
