[BOAI] The International Survey of Institutional Digital Repositories

[Peter Suber]

[Forwarding from Research and Markets Ltd.  --Peter Suber.]


I enclose details of our international survey of institutional digital
repositories.

Information science studies focus on the purchasing behavior and management
practices of major information consumers. Major scientific, technical,
legal, medical, corporate and academic libraries use our reports as
benchmarking tools. Major vendors/producers of content and content
technology development tools use our studies to grasp market trends and
pinpoint opportunities.

The study presents data from 56 institutional digital repositories from
eleven countries, including the USA, Canada, Australia, Germany, South
Africa, India, Turkey and other countries. The 121-page study presents more
than 200 tables of data and commentary and is based on data from higher
education libraries and other institutions involved in institutional digital
repository development.

In more than 300 tables and associated commentary the report describes norms
and benchmarks for budgets, software use, manpower needs and deployment,
financing, usage, marketing and other facets of the managment of
international digital repositories.

The report helps to answer questions such as: who contributes to the
repositories and on what terms? Who uses the repositories? What do they
contain and how fast are they growing, in terms of content and end use? What
measures have repositories used to gain faculty and other researcher
participation? How successful have these methods been? How has the
repository been marketed and cataloged? What has been the financial impact?
Data is broken out by size and type of institution for easier benchmarking.
