  1. CURRENT STATUS OF INSTITUTIONAL REPOSITORIES IN HIGHER EDUCATION IN INDIA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO IITs, IIMs AND NITs Presented in 16th National Convention on Knowledge, Library and Information Networking on Emerging Technologies and Innovations in Library Practice, NACLIN.

  2. NEEDS OF IRs IN ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS • Improve access to a wide variety of learning materials for teachers and learners. • Improve access to the latest research for academicians and researchers. • Minimize the cost of creating and providing access to resources.

  3. NEEDS OF IRs IN ACADEMIC INSTITUTES (Contd.) • Ensuring the long-term sustainability of digital resources and systems in education. • Share and reuse digital objects. • Improve the quality of learning experience.

  4. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY • To know the actual status of IRs in India. • To know the status of IRs in IITs, IIMs, NITs, and Universities. • To know the status of IRs in research Organizations. • To know most popular software for IRs.

  5. INSTITUTIONAL REPOSITORY SOFTWARE 1. Archimedes - The Open CAD 2. Bepress(Open Access Scholarly Publishing Services) 3. CDSware(An OAI-compliant software for document servers developed at CERN) 4. CONTENTdm (Digital Collection Management Software by OCLC) 5. DSpace(An open source repository software package) 6. EPrints (EPrints is a free and open-source software package) 7. Fedora (Fedora is a general-purpose, open-source digital object repository system) 8. Greenstone (Greenstone is a suite of open-source software) 9. Open Repository (Registered DSpace Provider offers Repository Hosting, Deployment, & Customization, Repository support training & maintenance.)

  6. METHODOLOGY The available literature on the topic has been used to examine the IR concept in the country. Relevant literature was also obtained by browsing different notable websites. For conducting this study, authors have consulted the Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR), and the Directory of Open Access Repositories (open DOAR).

  7. INSTITUTINAL REPOSTORYs IN INDIA Many initiatives have been observed in India to digitiz and preserve available knowledge. Various institutions have established their IRs to share resources and making their visibility worldwide. Academic institutions have also started preserving and sharing their resources with the help of IRs. The repository can be created and modified according to the needs and use of an institution. To create IR, many open sources software are available which are free and easily downloadable.

  8. STATUS OF IRs IN INDIA • As per Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR), there are 97 institutions having IR but some of them are repeated in the list available. • As per Open Directory of Open Access Repositories (Open DOAR), there are 65 institutions having repositories in India. • India stands second in Asia after Japan (89) in the number of IRs. (ROAR information) • India stands third after Japan (135) and Taiwan (58) as per Open DOAR information. • We choose 81 IR for our study.

  9. STATUS OF INSTITUTIONAL REPOSITORIES IN INDIA(Contd.) Table no1below show the status of IRs in India. In this study 81 institutions in India (including IITs, IIMs, NITs, universities, research organizations, etc) have IRs. Study reveals that most of the IRs are using Dspace software. Out of 81 IRs, 50 are using Dspace, 25 Eprint, 2 Greenstone, and 4 are using other software.

  10. STATUS OF INSTITUTIONAL REPOSITORY IN INDIAN INSTITUTES OF TECHNOLOGY (IITs)

  11. STATUS OF INSTITUTIONAL REPOSITORY IN INDIAN INSTITUTES OF MANAGEMENT (IIMs)

  12. STATUS OF INSTITUTIONAL REPOSITORY IN NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF TECHNOLOGY (NITs)

  13. STATUS OF INSTITUTIONAL REPOSITORY IN STATE, CENTRAL, DEEMED AND PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES

  14. EPILOGUE Today institutional repository is the current area of research in India • The development of IRs in India is fast and many institutes are taking up initiatives to set up them. • The prospect of Indian IR s are bright. • Libraries will server their users better, and help them preserve their treasure of knowledge for future .

  15. THANK YOU
