2. What is an Institutional Repository? A system that provides a home for the research output created at a university preprints and articles technical reports and bulletins e-theses and dissertations conference papers datasets A database system to store, search, and retrieve digital objects images text audio & video learning objects

3. What can an IR help you do? Long-term storage Helps to prevent the loss of digital material Persistent network identifiers Consistency checks for files Preservation of certain file formats Recapture an institution’s intellectual content from commercial publishers Provide local control of this content

4. Organizational Purpose Increase both the speed of delivery and the impact of faculty research Showcase the University’s research output Centralized system to house digitized collections Manage our institution’s “grey literature”, such as technical reports Provide Open Access

5. Open Access Literature that is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright restrictions 1 Supports and values peer review Removes access barriers immediately at time of publication and in full-text format Utilizes Creative Commons licenses

6. Factors Contributing to Open Access Scholarly Communication Crisis 1. Serial-subscription costs 2. Restrictive licensing terms Issues with limiting access 1. Lower visibility 2. Loss of research impact 3. Lower returns on investment for the institution and research funding agencies Wide-spread use of Internet and availability of technology Sources supporting research

7. Open Access Policy Federal Policies Institutional Policies UHM Policy

8. Repository Adoption Levels 2005 : IRs at 40% universities ; 6% colleges 2. 2009 : Over 90% of universities & colleges have IRs 3. Major players DSpace and Fedora ------now DuraSpace E-prints
