Title:Institutional Repositories in New Zealand: Comparing Institutional Strategies for Digital Preservation and Discovery
Author:Chawner, Brenda; Cullen, Rowena
Copyright:2008
Abstract:This paper outlines an ongoing project to create of a knowledge base to support the development of institutional repositories in New Zealand. The knowledge base wiki includes a summary of key literature to date, highlighting best practice, and standards relevant to the New Zealand sector, and a set of case studies of how New Zealand institutions have developed their repositories to date. These case studies are analysed, and different strategic approaches taken by institutions across the sector identified. These will then be discussed in relation to the issues identified in the literature. The paper also outlines new research areas being developed by the research team, a national approach that will link individual institutional approaches with the goals of the New Zealand Digital Strategy, and incorporate a survey of the perceptions and responses of NZ academics, and other key stakeholders, that are critical to the success of both the national strategy and individual institutional initiatives.
