New SPEC Kit (292) From ARL Discusses Institutional Repositories

From the announcement:

Since 2002, when DSpace and other institutional repository (IR) software began to be available, an increasing number of research libraries and their parent institutions have established institutional repositories to collect and provide access to diverse locally produced digital materials. This emerging technology holds great promise to transform scholarly communication, but it is still in its infancy. This survey was intended to collect baseline data about ARL member institutions’ institutional repository activities.

The full text of the SPEC Kit is fee based. However, a 22 page (PDF) table of contents and executive summary is available at no charge.
