3. Registering DSPACE on OpenDoar
Directory of Open Access Repositories
A repository will be more visible, and its contents more used if it can be easily found by end-users and by search services. For search services to be able to harvest the metadata of a repository's contents, the repository itself must be known to the search service. A basic list or register helps service providers keep track of the number and location of repositories.
Beyond this basic role, OpenDOAR can help repository administrators in making their holdings visible through specific searches - by content type, for example: or facilitating material being used in data-mining or other services.
