English abstract

This paper examines the purposes of institutional digital repositories and the development options that are available via open source software. Preservation of an institution's digital output is valuable to the submitting authors and the institution. There are digital repository products available as open source software that may be extremely helpful to an organization establishing an institutional repository. The role of libraries and librarians in this process is discussed.
