Hello everyone, I am working on structuring my library's institutional repository and was having a discussion as to the best way to structure it. We are using DSpace and originally I was thinking to make communities for each school in the University, but there was a concern brought up if we were to host other school's collections as well, which would make more sense to create them as sub-communities. I wanted to ask if there were libraries out there that actually this, host other schools materials in their repository as well as their own? There was also concern about being able to link into shared repository networks depending on how we structured it. Both of these seem like odd concerns to me, but I am pretty new to working with institutional repositories, I am more familiar with digital collections. So if anyone can give me insight on how to respond, how shared repositories work, or links to standards that I can show it would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time.
