On-line institutional repositories
THIS WEEK Netspeak discusses the "on-line institutional repository,'' an innovative information dissemination concept that has been developed to capture/preserve/distribute intellectual output of universities and research establishments.
Universities and research institutions are the main information and knowledge generation sources. Though new ideas and thoughts emanate everyday from these knowledge production centres through seminars, discussions, assignments and working papers, only a small portion of them (the published research papers) reaches the public and other peer institutes.
