Collaborative Exploration of the Newest DSpace: Updates from the TDL DSpace 7 Task Force

The long-anticipated release of DSpace version 7 has arrived. With support ending Summer 2023 for older versions, the TDL DSpace User Group put together a task force to collaborate on testing and documentation. Members of the DSpace 7 Upgrades Task Force, representing several TDL member institutions, will discuss the process of organizing a multi-organization working team, testing new software features, and planning for migrations of their institutional repositories. How do libraries from different university systems work together in testing and documenting DSpace 7 features for their own IRs and those of others? How can the experiences of this task force be applied to other consortial efforts around software upgrades?
