To celebrate Open Access Week, Digital Scholarship (http://digital-scholarship.org/)is releasing version one of the Institutional Repository Bibliography. This bibliography presents over 620 selected English-language articles, books, and other scholarly textual sources that are useful in understanding institutional repositories. Although institutional repositories intersect with a number of open access and scholarly communication topics, this bibliography only includes works that are primarily about institutional repositories.
http://digital-scholarship.org/irb/irb.html Most sources have been published between 2000 and the present; however, a limited number of key sources published prior to 2000 are also included. Where possible, links are provided to e-prints in disciplinary archives and institutional repositories. For a discussion of the numerous changes in my digital publications since my resignation (http://bit.ly/GW4Ih) from the University of Houston Libraries, see the Digital Scholarship Publications Overview. http://bit.ly/1tsW5s Table of Contents 1 General 2 Country and Regional Institutional Repository Surveys 3 Multiple-Institution Repositories 4 Specific Institutional Repositories 5 Institutional Repository Digital Preservation Issues 6 Institutional Repository Library Issues 7 Institutional Repository Metadata Issues 8 Institutional Repository Open Access Policies 9 Institutional Repository R&D Projects 10 Institutional Repository Research Studies 11 Institutional Repository Software Appendix A.
