Content management and distribution is becoming one of the most significant challenges in IT today. In researching the technical aspects underlying digital libraries, SunSITE has been able to forge partnerships with the top research universities in the US — Stanford, Berkeley, Columbia, Harvard, Virginia Tech and Illinois — as well as preserve scholarly work by UT faculty that might otherwise be lost. Our most recent activities in this area include: In Spring 2003 SunSITE launched a testbed for DSpace, an open source software platform developed by MIT that enables institutions to capture and describe digital works; distribute digital works over the web; and preserve digital works over the long term. Jason Simms, a SunSITE staffer, has also begun a documentation project, DSpace for Dummies. In Spring 2000 SunSITE joined with Stanford University, Columbia University, Harvard University, the University of California, Berkeley and the Los Alamos National Laboratory to develop a permanent electronic publishing solution that will enhance the value and ensure the sustainability of academic material published on the Web.
