The study presents data from 56 institutional digital
repositories from eleven countries, including the USA, Canada,
Australia, Germany, South Africa, India, Turkey and other
countries. The 121-page study presents more than 200
tables of data and commentary and is based on data from higher
education libraries and other institutions involved in
institutional digital repository development.
In more than 300 tables and associated commentary the report
describes norms and benchmarks for budgets, software use,
manpower needs and deployment, financing, usage, marketing and
other facets of the managment of international digital
repositories.
The report helps to answer questions such as: who
contributes to the repositories and on what terms? Who uses
the repositories? What do they contain and how fast are they
growing, in terms of content and end use? What measures have
repositories used to gain faculty and other researcher
participation? How successful have these methods been?
How has the repository been marketed and cataloged? What has
been the financial impact? Data is broken out by size
and type of institution for easier benchmarking.
