Friends:
Here is a brief summary of an article recommended to me.
Gibbons, Susan. "Establishing an Institutional Repository"
[11]Library Technology Reports 40(4) (July-August 2004) -
Institutional repositories are a hot topic with academic
institutions, and in particular academic libraries. This 67-page
report is an excellent summary of institutional repository
benefits, potential uses, features, costs, and software options.
The author has been involved with establishing an institutional
repository at her institution, but it's also clear that she did her
homework in putting this publication together. The information here
is accurate and up-to-date, and can serve as a very useful overview
of the state of institutional repositories currently as well as
useful guidance for any institution wishing to create such a
repository. Although LTR is published on a subscription basis,
individual issues can be purchased at the web site
([12]www.techsource.ala.org). - [13]RT
Is anyone getting this journal (LTR) in his/her library? If so, please alert
me. I would like to read this article.
Thanks very much and best wishes.
