Institutional repositories (IRs) are the “online locus for collecting, preserving, and disseminating—in digital form—the intellectual output of an institution, particularly a research institution.”
Despite the abundance of information on IRs, librarians consistently show an interest in learning more about their promises and pitfalls, and they seek practical advice on creating, maintaining, implementing, and marketing them. As a result, in the winter of 2009, the Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS) tapped into the enormous, ongoing interest in the IR concept and presented a symposium.
This text reprises both author Greg Tananbaum's keynote address at the 2009 symposium and the webinar that he presented in March 2009. It is a fitting framework for future chapters which will examine a wide variety of topics including open access, copyright and intellectual property, marketing the IR to one’s constituency, the value of partnerships, the IR as a publishing platform, selecting the platform, the importance of metadata, and incorporating statistical and research data.
