5. Who suffered
• Lack of Digital information sources
• Lack of dedicated Data base
• Lack of e- resources
• Lack of one window search facility
• Lack of online services for users

6. Need & Relevance of Institutional
Repositories
Technological change
Significant increase in the overall volume of research
Increasing need for archival and access to unpublished information
Increasing demand to access knowledge objects from anywhere at
anytime
Increasing uncertainty over who will handle the preservation
archiving of digital scholarly research materials.

7. Objectives of Institutional Repositories
 Institutional Repository is created to manage, preserve, and
maintain the digital assets and intellectual output.
Create global visibility for an institutions scholarly research
 To collect content in single location
 To provide Open Access to the institutions research output
 To provide self- archiving of institutional scholarly research output

8. Elements of Institutional Repositories
Pre-prints of articles or research reports submitted for publication
Revised texts of published work with comments from academic readers
Conference papers
Teaching materials
Thesis, Dissertations, Student project reports
Datasets resulting from research projects
 Committee reports and memoranda
 Photographs and video recordings
 Technical documentation

9. Benefits of Institutional Repository
 IR increases visibility and prestige.
 IR helps in centralization and storage of all types of institutional
output
 IR supports for learning and teaching.
 IR assists in standardization of institutional records.
 IR enables to keep track of and analyze research performance.
 IR breaks down publisher‟s costs and permissions barrier

10. Challenges of Institutional Repository
 Difficulties in Generating Content
 Right to Management Issues
 Working Culture Issues
 Policy Issues
 Lack of Incentives
 Cost

11. Creating an IR Service Model
 What is the service’s mission?
 What kinds of content will you accept?
 Who are the key users?
 Who are the key stakeholders?
 What services would you offer if you had unlimited resources?
 What can you afford to offer?
 Will you charge for services?
 What responsibilities will the library bear versus the content
community?
 What are your top service priorities?
 What are the short-term priorities and long-term priorities?

16. D Space Structure

17. Steps of Collection creation
Selecting the parent community of the collection
Answering some initial questions about the collection
Entering the descriptive metadata for the collection
Setting the collections authorisations (users who can submit new
items)
Configuring the workflows for the collection (seeWorkflows)
Configuring the collections authorisations (access rights)

18. D Space: content SubmissionWorkflow
• If not already selected, the user must select a collection to deposit
the Item into.Select Collection
• This is where the user may enter descriptive metadata about the
Item.This step may consist of one or more pages of metadata entry.Describe
• This is where the user may upload one or more files to associate
with the Item.Upload
• This is where the user may review all previous information entered,
and correct anything as needed.Review
• This is where the user must agree to the repository distribution
license in order to complete the deposit.License
• The deposit is now completed.The Item will either become
immediately available or undergo a workflow approval process.Complete

19. DSpace Structure
"Community" is a grouping of collections and/or "Sub-communities"
"Collection" is a group of related items in an archive.
"Items" are records that describe the file(s) being archived, using the
Dublin Core metadata scheme
"Bundle" is a grouping of files associated with an item
"Bit streams" are the individual files grouped together in a bundle
and associated with an item. (e.g. license text, jpegs, tiffs, pdfs, doc,
xml)

20. Example Structure
Structures may be based around organisational units:
Community Collection Items
Department Research group Items
Department Item type Items
Faculty School Items
Structures are hierarchical
Community Sub Community Collection Items
Department Sub-Department Research group
