*Be Part of Defining the Future of DSpace: Participate in the DSpace Vision
Survey*

*Winchester, MA*  What should a new, modernized DSpace application be like?

DSpace 1.0 was released on November 4, 2002. More than ten years later
DSpace remains the most-used institutional repository software in the world
providing preservation of, and access to millions of precious digital
objects in more than 1,800 repositories.

The DSpace Vision Survey <https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/dspacevision>,
compiled by the DSpace Vision Group consisting of DuraSpace staff members,
DSpace Committers, DSpace Community Advisory Team members, and other DSpace
community members, was facilitated by DuraSpace. The survey aims to gather
the collective thoughts of the DSpace user community in order to define and
shape the future of DSpace over the coming years. Now that DSpace is 10+
years old, it's time to reflect on how far it has come and where it is
going.

An initial DSpace Vision meeting was held in May of 2013, followed by a
community session at Open Repositories 2013 that resulted in achieving
consensus on broad goals and directions. These can be viewed
here<http://duraspace.org/sites/duraspace.org/files/u3/DSpace%20vision.pdf>
 (PDF).

The DSpace Vision Group will analyze survey data to refine these initial
goals and directions. It consists of four pages and will take 10-minutes to
complete. You may comment on what you think DSpace is, what functionality
it should offer in the future, and what systems it should integrate with.
The DSpace Vision Survey <https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/dspacevision> will
be open until the end of February. Feel free to answer as an individual, or
to submit a single response from your organization:

and development of DSpace by completing the DSpace Vision
