Institutional Repositories are important for universities as they provide a platform that makes their participation in open science possible. This allows them to have an open access organizational memory and capitalize on their intellectual assets as part of their institutional contribution to society. Likewise, professors and researchers also use the Institutional Repository to increase their visibility and enhance collaboration with other academic peers. However, the majority of Institutional Repositories initiatives have challenges and opportunities regarding their internal operation (i.e. lack of specialized personnel, fulfillment of their premises and goals (visibility, impact measurement), including institutional recognition and exposure (awareness).

This webinar is 100% virtual and free. Is intended for library staff and information professionals.
