“a university-based institutional repository is a set of
services that a university offers to the members of
its community for the management and
dissemination of digital materials created by the
institution and its community members. It is most
essentially an organizational commitment to the
stewardship of these digital materials, including
long-term preservation where appropriate, as well
as organization and access or distribution.”
