[Irtalk] SUNScholar/Practical guidelines for starting an institutional repository (IR) - Libopedia

[Hilton Gibson]

These highly referenced guidelines are targeted at academic institutions in
developing countries world wide, who want to start an online open access
research repository and who want to know in detail what is required and how
to do it step-by-step.

The focus during development of the open system has been long term research
repository preservation and interoperability on the internet using the
self-hosting value proposition.

These guidelines are also an attempt to promote the use of a reference
architecture and software release cadence as best practices, for the
implementation of DSpace as a trusted institutional digital repository,
much the same as we did for our repository, SUNScholar.
