The International Survey of Institutional Digital Repositories 
 -  
ISBN: 1-57440-090-8)  Publication Date:  11/07

The study presents data from 56 institutional digital repositories 
from eleven countries, including the USA, Canada, Australia, 
Germany, South Africa, India, Turkey and other countries.  
The 121-page study presents more than 200 tables of data and 
commentary and is based on data from higher education libraries 
and other institutions involved in institutional digital repository 
development. 

In more than 300 tables and associated commentary the report describes 
norms and benchmarks for budgets, software use, manpower needs and deployment, 
financing, usage, marketing and other facets of the managment of international digital
repositories.  

The report helps to answer questions such as:  who contributes to the repositories 
and on what terms? Who uses the repositories? What do they contain and how fast
are they growing, in terms of content and end use? What measures have repositories 
used to gain faculty and other researcher participation? How successful have these 
methods been?  How has the repository been marketed and cataloged? What has been the financial
impact? Data is broken out by size and type of institution for easier benchmarking.
