All the scientific production, formal and informal, draft or definitive, published or unpublished, should be available from a unique web site. The institutional repository is a very important asset of the institution as a whole, not only of the library. We recommend the following syntax for the institutional repository web address:

===Google Sitemap===
 
First, edit the DSpace config file and setup sitemaps as follows.
 
<pre>
 
#### Sitemap settings #####
 
# the directory where the generated sitemaps are stored
 
sitemap.dir = http://scholar.sun.ac.za/sitemaps
 
 
 
#
 
# Comma-separated list of search engine URLs to 'ping' when a new Sitemap has
 
# been created.  Include everything except the Sitemap URL itself (which will
 
# be URL-encoded and appended to form the actual URL 'pinged').
 
#
 
#sitemap.engineurls = http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap=
 
 
 
# Add this to the above parameter if you have an application ID with Yahoo
 
# (Replace REPLACE_ME with your application ID)
 
# http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/updateNotification?appid=REPLACE_ME&url=
 
#
 
# No known Sitemap 'ping' URL for MSN/Live search
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Second, go to the [http://www.google.com/webmasters Google Webmasters] page and create an account. When asked to submit a sitemap use '''htmlmap''' as the sitemap URL. After the correct setup, you can view your own sitemaps by pointing your browser to:
 
http://%my-repository-hostname%/htmlmap
 
For example you can view SUNScholar sitemaps by clicking on the link below.
 
http://scholar.sun.ac.za/htmlmap
