Hi Valerie,
Bram gave you some great info...but here's a few other useful links.
If you are looking to have your DSpace site hosted by a hosting
provider, our list of DSpace service providers is at:
http://dspace.org/service-providers/
(Look for ones that list "Hosting" as an option)
In addition, as Bram notes, DuraSpace (the stewarding institution behind
DSpace, and my employer) offers hosted DSpace options via DSpaceDirect:
http://dspacedirect.org/
Good luck!
Tim

Hi Valerie,
to answer your last question first, I think what your IT department
means by "Online Storage" is all types of hosting where the actual
DSpace software and uploaded data resides on servers outside of your
IT infrastructure.
If you install DSpace on servers inside your IT infrastructure, no
"Online Storage" according to this definition would be involved.
However, hosted DSpace services like DSpace Direct or its competitors
are likely considered "Online Storage" by your IT department.
It is safe to assume that you will at least need some assistance from
a system administrator in your institution to get DSpace running in
production.
For example for making your DSpace installation secure (by installing
HTTPS certificates) or for registering the URL you want (like
myrepository.mylibrary.edu <http://myrepository.mylibrary.edu>) in the
DNS records of your institution.
The DSpace community continuously works on improving the installation
instructions:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Installing+DSpace
I would recommend the library person who wants to take on the
installation to review this page to see if the steps are described in
enough detail so that he or she could do it.
If not, please post your questions or feedback either on the
dspace-tech mailinglist, or as a comment on the installation wiki page.
Even if you are running on your own infrastructures, companies like
the one I work for, Atmire <http://www.atmire.com>, can assist you
with the installation and configuration.
with kindest regards,
Bram Luyten

Our library is looking into DSPACE, and my question is...
How involved does IT have to be?
Is this something the library staff can fully install?
Our IT department blocks anything considered "Online Storage."
Would DSPACE be considered online storage?
Thanks!
