DSpace Storage Allocation
A community's initial storage quotas are based on the size of
the DSpace Community as determined by the MIT Libraries. Thereafter,
the quotas will be reviewed on an annual basis, at which time MIT
Libraries reserve the right to alter the quotas as dictated by demand
and resource availability. Communities with greater storage needs
may be served through Premium Services.
