Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the implementation and gradual growth of OZone as a shared institutional repository. Started in the fall of 2003 as a project of the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) trough the Scholars Portal program, OZone is the implementation of DSpace as a multi-institutional repository. This paper describes and underlines the features of the flexible and powerful platform that helped us model the service, and delineates policies and benefits provided by OZone.
