Abstract:
Newspapers cover a large amount of information everyday on topics of varied
interests. To a university, newspapers are essential components of
communication as they cover various happenings in a university. These items of
information are neither stored properly nor put in retrieval systems for future
use. The news and views appeared in newspapers can effectively be organized in
a digital library making use of open source software. The CUSAT digital library
(http://dspace.cusat.ac.in/dspace/) has organized some news items that
appeared in local newspapers about the university under a special community
named “CUSAT-News”. This article describes the methods of collecting,
selecting, organizing, providing access and preserving news items required by a
university using DSpace open source software.
