Checking what version of dspace I have

[Conor]

Hi 

I have recently taken over a role from somebody who managed all our dspace stuff. I was wondering is there a way of checking what version of dspace is currently running on our server ? 

Many thanks

Conor.

If you log in, go to Control Panel and then Configuration.  The version is listed there.  There's also a registry of DSpace users with version info here: https://registry.lyrasis.org/?filter_10=DSpace.

You can check the <meta name="Generator"> element in any page returned by DSpace.  Its `content` attribute will contain the version of DSpace that is running.  If you cannot find a Generator meta, the version is very very old.

If you have identified the sources that were used to build your instance, you can inspect the top-level 'pom.xml' file.  The POM's <version> element (Xpath: /project/version) will be the version of DSpace represented by the sources.
