Nason Bimbe (formerly of the Institute of Development Studies, and now a freelance consultant) and Evan Njoroge (Knowledge Management officer at the Kenya Revenue Authority) answer questions about the DSpace free and open source repository software package typically used for creating open access repositories for scholarly digital content.

The webinar is based on a checklist developed by EIFL, titled How To Make Your OA Repository Work Really Well (see the link under More Information, below). The checklist aims to help repository managers and administrators, librarians and other support staff involved at research and educational institutions to enhance their DSpace open access repositories. During the webinar Bimbe and Njoroge presented the checklist, and discussed questions asked by webinar participants.
