Personal accounts for DSpace@ScienceUofK users that attended the training sessions held at U of K two weeks ago have now been created and are already available. Every user with a valid DSpace@ScienceUofK account should have received a notification email. If you want to have an account and haven't received any notification email, please send an email to oascirproject@gmail.com to request your account.
Once an account has been created by the repository managers, for uploading a research work into the DSpace@ScienceUofK repository, we should sign on to MyDSpace by cliccking on the button at the left-hand-side menu bar. That option (only for authorised users) will lead into the DSpace 'private section' from which documents may be uploaded. However, first the user is required to fill in a login (email address) and a password.
When personal accounts are originally created, no specific password is attached to them. That's why the first step in accessing DSpace@ScienceUofK must be setting a personal password. In order to do that you should click on the "Have you forgotten your password?" link at the DSpace log in webpage.
When clicking on "Have you forgotten your password?", DSpace will show the 'Forgotten Password' page, in which an email address can be introduced. By clicking on the 'I Forgot My Password' button, DSpace will send a link to the supplied email which will allow to define a new password.
At your email account Inbox folder there will be a new email with subject 'Change Password Request', where the link is provided to define a new password.
When clicking on this link, we get to the 'Enter New Password' page, where the new password should be entered and confirmed:
Once the new password is set, we can proceed to login again, using email address as login and the new password we just defined...
... and then we'll be able to access MyDSpace and start submitting a contribution to the DSpace@ScienceUofK repository
