Institutional Repositories - 26 Resources OverviewInstitutional repositories first gained attention in 2002, when universities began offering in-house services to manage and disseminate their digital materials. These repositories evolved in response to faculty needs, changes in electronic scholarly publishing, and the affordability of digital preservation. No single blueprint for an institutional repository exists—they range from MIT’s DSpace to the Caltech Collection of Open Digital Archives (CODA). EDUCAUSE has identified links concerning the institutional repositories that may be useful to the higher education community. Many of these links have been contributed by EDUCAUSE members. If you would like to include additional resources on this page, send the information to contribute@educause.edu.
