Creating An Institutional Repository, Nathan R. Schwartz Jan 2016

Creating An Institutional Repository, Nathan R. Schwartz

The Christian Librarian

Creating an institutional repository (IR) requires much forethought and planning. Setting up a university IR committee will help direct policy and collection goals, and will encourage faculty participation.
