Description
Chapter 21 of this book, titled Let’s Say Yes: Considerations and Impact of Using Institutional Repositories to Promote Non-Traditional Works, was written by KSU authors, Chelsee Dickson and Heather Hankins.
Over the past two decades, institutional repositories (IRs) have become commonplace among academic libraries. As of 2022, the Open Directory of Open Access Repositories (OpenDOAR) contains entries for 771 IRs in the United States alone, not to mention the proliferation of IRs at colleges and universities around the world.1 Librarians have grown accustomed to making the case for why their institution needs an IR, and based on the data, it appears that they have largely been successful in making these arguments to administrators. But if the question of “why” has been answered, the more fundamental question of “how” remains: How should libraries use their IRs most effectively to benefit their universities and their community?
