Why did you move from ePrintsUQ to UQ eSpace?
In ePrintsUQ, we stored deposits of publications in a single collection. However, publications form only a minor part of the research output of this university. We needed a system that could accommodate more than just publications – one that could house datasets, image libraries, multimedia and other research materials, all with different metadata and different subject classification needs, and all housed in different communities and collections with very different security rules. UQ eSpace gives us that flexibility. In addition, UQ eSpace provides us with preservation metadata to enable us to keep your data sustainably over the long term. We are also using UQ eSpace for the 2008 Higher Education Research Data Collection and will use it to deliver some of the functionality required for the upcoming ERA exercise from DISR.
