The new frontier of institutional repositories: A common destination with different paths1

Since the Fall 2002 ARL/CNI/SPARC workshop on digital institutional repositories, many research libraries have considered whether institutional repositories are feasible for their institutions. Though institutional repositories offer great possibilities, associated technical and policy challenges can be intimidating, especially for institutions devoting limited resources to an institutional repository. This paper presents the experiences of three different ARL (Association of Research Libraries) member libraries who wanted to exploit the opportunities offered by institutional repositories. These libraries at Florida State University, the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and the Georgia Institute of Technology differed in their motivations, the resources that were available within their respective institutions, and the strategies they employed for defining, scoping and implementing repositories. Their accounts of the journey to a shared destination illustrate how varied the surrounding landscapes and selected paths can become.
