  • To address problems like these, we planned to supply CSPs with java-enabled phones and utilize the FrontlineSMS Forms Client to allow them to fill out and send in daily reports on services provided.  Using this platform, the 42-field paper form currently being filled out by hand can be compressed down to a single text-message.  After a few days of brainstorming and getting up to speed on SSFP, I headed out to a few field sites to talk with clinic managers and CSPs and introduce the idea to them personally.  Once accustomed to the idea of a real-time communication network, the CSPs began to buzz with ideas exploring how it might be used.

  • Non-faculty researchers and students are already afforded deposit privileges, and DASH will eventually have collection spaces for each of the 10 schools at Harvard.
  • a pro-open-access policy with an "opt out" clause.
  • Each Faculty member grants to the President and Fellows of Harvard College permission to make available his or her scholarly articles and to exercise the copyright in those articles. In legal terms, the permission granted by each Faculty member is a nonexclusive, irrevocable, paid-up, worldwide license to exercise any and all rights under copyright relating to each of his or her scholarly articles, in any medium, and to authorize others to do the same, provided that the articles are not sold for a profit.

  • Among the many features the DASH development team has added to its DSpace implementation is the ability to link directly from a faculty author's name in DASH search results to his or her entry in Profiles, a research social networking site developed by Harvard Catalyst. Profiles, which provides a comprehensive view of a researcher's publications and connections within the University research community, currently indexes faculty from the medical and public health schools; its developers hope to expand it to include the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and School of Engineering and Applied Sciences in the near future.
  • "DASH is meant to promote openness in general," stated Robert Darnton, Carl H. Pforzheimer University Professor and Director of the University Library. "It will make the current scholarship of Harvard's faculty freely available everywhere in the world, just as the digitization of the books in Harvard's library will make learning accumulated since 1638 accessible worldwide. Taken together, these and other projects represent a commitment by Harvard to share its intellectual wealth."
