Abstract
This paper aims to present a strategic overview of the restructuring of the CEPT repository
structure, maintaining and upgrading its software for continuous access and improved services.
The process of restructuring and upgrading CEPT University Library's repository to DSpace 7
involved identifying the need for technical proficiency, establishing a new server, configuring
the repository, and migrating existing data while preparing metadata. Furthermore, data in the
new storage hierarchy was restructured, and SSL integration with Shibboleth was implemented.
The paper highlights the benefits and outcomes of the restructuring process, emphasizing the
enhanced accessibility, discoverability, and preservation of scholarly works. The study discusses
the challenges faced by the institution's existing repository, the rationale behind the
restructuring, and the step-by-step approach taken to upgrade the repository. The case study
serves as a valuable reference for other academic institutions seeking to optimize their
institutional repositories.
