The first test system to be added to the Technology Sandbox is DSpace, the open-source institutional repository software developed by Hewlett-Packard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).  Members who want to experiment with bringing their digital content online can access the DSpace Test site via NELINET\u2019s Technology Sandbox at: http:\/\/forums.nelinet.net\/sandbox\/<br \/>\n\u201cThe original idea of the Sandbox grew out of discussions with members who told us that their biggest challenge is the constant need to keep up-to-date about new technologies and trends,\u201d said Arnold Hirshon, NELINET\u2019s Executive Director.  \u201cThe Sandbox fulfills NELINET\u2019s mission to facilitate members\u2019 adoption of new technologies that help make information more accessible to their users.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThe true benefit of the DSpace Test implementation is that members can go in to the Sandbox and immediately use the open-source institutional repository without the hassle of having to install the software themselves,\u201d says Ed Sperr, NELINET\u2019s project administrator for the DSpace test lab.<br \/>\nNELINET plans to add new technologies to the Sandbox on a monthly schedule.  In January 2007, wiki and blog applications will be added, followed shortly by balloting and voting software.  Later next year, NELINET\u2019s Information Technology staff plan to add open-source federated searching and open URL linking solutions as well as a student portfolio management program.  Discussions are also underway with some commercial companies to provide access to their products in a test mode on an unlimited basis.<br \/>\nMembers interested in registering for an account on NELINET\u2019s Technology Sandbox should contact Kathy Courcy (courcy@nelinet.net) at 1.800.NELINET, ext. 125.
