A university-based institutional repository is a set of services that a university offers to the members of its community for the management and dissemination of digital materials created by the institution and its community members. It is most essentially an organizational commitment to the stewardship of these digital materials, including long-term preservation where appropriate, as well as organization and access or distribution (Lynch, 2003).

Clifford Lynch, "Institutional Repositories: Essential Infrastructure for Scholarship in the Digital Age"

As he said, a university-based institutional repository is a set of services that a university offers to the members of its community for the management and dissemination of digital materials created by the institution and its community members. It is most essentially an organizational commitment to the stewardship of these digital materials, including long-term preservation where appropriate, as well as organization and access or distribution.

Needs of IR:

This is the era of information explosions; tremendous amount of information is producing day by day in the whole world. It was big challenge for information specialists, how to control the information explosion. To solve this problem, information specialists suggest to store the information in single platform, after stored any one can access it, this is point from where ‘origin of open access’.
There are many points, which can insist you for building an IR, some are below:

1. The scholarly material produced by the university can be available in one place, reflecting the intellectual achievements of the institution, and serving as a valuable marketing tool.
2. An instructional repository can make the University’s research and teaching and learning materials more visible and widely available.
3. It can protect university’s work. The Intellectual property of the University, its staff and students is maintained always available from a well-managed source.
4. It complies with funding requirements. Many of the major funding bodies worldwide now mandate that their funded research is deposited in a repository and made freely available for others to benefit from.
5. Material that is not traditionally published is included in the repository, including drafts of unpublished articles or book chapters, unpublished research, student works, learning objects, and creative works.



Objectives of IR
1. To organize intellectual materials in single plate form;
2. To provide open access of his all intellectual materials;
3. To create global visibility of an institution’s scholarly research;
4. To store and preserve other institutional digital assets, including unpublished or otherwise easily lost ‘grey literature’ (e.g., theses or technical reports).

Benefits of IR: There are many benefits of IR for specific to institution, contributors, users, and some generals, some are listed below:

1. Unless specified users or otherwise the Intellectual materials stored in institutional repository will be freely available for all to read.
2. Material in an institutional repository will be harvested by external search engines such as Google, Yahoo and msn.
3. Intellectual work of any intuition in open access repository is likely to gain greater exposure than that which has restricted or closed access. Studies are being carried out to show how this increased exposure may lead to an increase in citations.
4. Gray literature, material not easily found through conventional means will be actively recruited for the repository. This can include material such as working papers, pre-prints, white papers, conference presentations.
5. Faculty member can self archive his/her gray literature and can get comments from viewers.
6. Work stored in institutional repository will be assigned a permanent unique identifier as part of the repository’s commitment to digital preservation.
7. This URI (or Handle) is readable using a regular browser and will never change, unlike a regular URL that can be removed or changed.
