Case Study
SternHost implements DSpace 7 for UNIABUJA

Introduction

The University of Abuja is a federal tertiary institution in Abuja, Nigeria, with a population of over 59,000 students. Prior to deploying DSpace digital repository software, the university lacked a digital archiving solution, which resulted in a backlog of over 50,000 theses, publications, journals, and other items that needed to be archived.

Challenges

This institution of 55K students and 3K staff lacked a digital archive, causing academic material backlogs that affected research and knowledge preservation.

Solutions & Benefits

Recognizing the need for a transformation, the University of Abuja turned to SternHost, which deployed the DSpace Digital Repository software to address these challenges.

Installation & Customization

Deployment of DSpace 7, a modern digital repository system and customization of the Angular user interface to enhance user experience.

Notification Systems

Implementation of email notifications to keep stakeholders informed about research updates.
