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.
