  • System administration

  • Monitoring and upgrading Repository utility programs and middleware

  • Developing system enhancements

  • Bulk ingest of large Collections (content and metadata)

The Texas A&M Digital Repository is available for use 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, with the exception of maintenance and upgrade periods. Short-term interruptions and maintenance announcements will be posted on the Repository home page.
