Abstract

Book: Do you daydream about a simple solution for collecting, preserving, and sharing your institution’s digital content online? Do you know that an institutional repository is that solution but have no idea where to begin? Has the allure of an IR given way to the difficulties and practicalities of implementing one? The editors of The Institutional Repository: Benefits and Challenges have called on expert authors to offer practical advice on: Creating, implementing, maintaining, and marketing an IR; Open access policies; and Copyright issues. This collection arms readers with the information they need to begin planning a successful institutional repository.
