“…According to Baudoin and Branschofsky (2003), defining the policies for an IR is one of the most complex and important steps for libraries, but once they are created, they help to provide clarity to the IR project team and the institution's community.…”

Institutional repositories are increasingly becoming an essential component of academic institutions. An institutional repository showcases scholarly and research output to the wider community, and significantly helps in institutional advancement and outreach. It has the benefit of sharing and marketing research with others. It also provides an opportunity to raise profile and brand awareness of an institution, faculty and students to the global community. Building an effective and successful institutional repository for an academic institution requires careful planning and enthusiasm from the institution's community. This article describes detailed steps based on the review of the literature and the author's experience in creating institutional repositories. The libraries need to make critical decisions and choices before designing or redesigning institutional repositories. Among them are the funding, staffing, technology, metadata, content and operations to build, manage and run the institutional repositories successfully.

“…As the document repositories have been flourished on the web, many papers on how to construct document repositories have appeared [7] Open Source BSD license and has been adopted by other universities and institutes for their institutional repositories. [10] is an empirical case study of adopting DSpace in National Taiwan University and the authors describe several modifications and extensions to DSpace in order to fit their needs for their repository.…”

Document repository systems have been developed actively for decades and have become quite popular on the internet. Now we can recognize several typical types of document repositories and find the fulltext-search functionality as a useful search method for document repositories, so we think it has some significance to show as a mile stone an implementation scheme which covers basic types and functionality of the current document repositories which have full-text-search functionality.The basic functions covered by our scheme are: to create, read, update, delete (so called CRUD) of documents and a session control with an optional authentication. We present a description for each part of CRUD of our scheme.We implemented a library according to our scheme and developed small document repositories using the library. Our repository library and its applications form web applications whose script language is Perl.The implementation loosely follows the MVC (Model, View, Control) model for modularity and each MVC part of the library and its application named TEST are described. We also present a description of another application of our library which the author is conducting in the department he belongs to. We show some views of these applications.We conclude that our library works fine for the needs of building small repositories in a short time.

“…Tansley et al (2003) summarized DSpace's initial functions as a data model, metadata, e‐people, authorization, ingesting, workflow, CNRI Handle system, search and browsing, Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI‐PMH), subscription, and Web user interface. Baudoin and Branschofsky () noted that implementation of DSpace changed how MIT researchers think about the lifecycle of scholarly research and the operating definitions of units of the scholarly enterprise. Additionally, DSpace is increasingly seen as an active player in developing technical infrastructure at MIT.…”

Data management and curation is a new challenge with the emerging trend of data-dependent scholarly research. Due to the lack of common standards and best practices, current data management and curation practices have been varied. This poster presents a project that examines the common practices of data management and curation that helps understand the scope of and factors behind such variations. The sample of this study consists of 171 unique data repositories created by 164 institutions from 95 countries worldwide. The preliminary results indicate that data management and curation is a global issue. Currently, academic institutions and government agencies are the leading force in contributing and sharing data. Data repositories are used for various purposes with international repository and learning resources being the most common use cases. Additionally, system functions used to manage data repositories vary to a great extent with statistics and OAI harvesting being the most common ones.
