February 2024 - We’re upgrading TSpace in Summer 2024

 

We’re upgrading TSpace in Summer 2024, to a new version of its DSpace software platform. This upgrade represents a step towards the development of a national Institutional Repository service, in partnership with Scholars Portal and the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL).

What will change?
The new version of DSpace, the software behind TSpace, will be hosted by Scholars Portal. Most of the changes are on the administrative side, but you will see some layout and format changes to the TSpace homepage, help pages, search results, and other pages. A few features, such as the map on the TSpace homepage will be discontinued.

What won’t change?
Our institutional repository service is not changing as a result of this upgrade. All TSpace content will remain securely housed, preserved and made available through TSpace, just as it is now. If you’re a TSpace content provider, you will continue to manage your content in the same way, and our TSpace policies will not change.

What’s next?
Please watch this space for news as the TSpace software upgrade work progresses. We plan to finish this migration by the summer of 2024. TSpace will remain available for your use and content upload throughout the upgrade, with brief downtime (approximately one day) expected during the final phase. Any downtime expected will be announced in advance. We are also emailing all TSpace content providers about these changes.
