- Planting Seeds for a Successful Institutional Repository: Role of the Archivist as Manager, Designer, and Policymaker Watterworth, Melissa Preservation Archives Library Role Role Perception Information Management Electronic Libraries Information Technology Library Automation Library Development Library Research Library Administration Librarians Recent surveys indicate that many colleges and universities have reached a pivotal moment in assessing the function and future development of their institutional repositories. Other surveys convey that archivists are participating in the development and implementation of institutional repositories at a variety of levels and have contributed to the broadening of content and source materials that increasingly reside in institutional repositories. Archivists report that institutional repositories have generally benefited archives by providing a delivery mechanism for and enhancing access to institutional records and digital collections. Case studies in recent publications and conference proceedings further illustrate the experiences of archivists and reveal, however, that archivists have had only limited success in realizing the promise of institutional repositories for digital preservation and for collaborating in new ways with campus stakeholders.
