Resources for Institutional Repositories

This selection of resources may be useful as an accompaniment to ALCTS webinar series on institutional repositories. 

Charles W. Bailey.  Institutional Repository Bibliography.  http://digital-scholarship.org/irb/irb.html 
This bibliographypresents over 620 selected English-language articles, books, and other scholarly textual sources that are useful in understanding institutional repositories. Although institutional repositories intersect with a number of open access and scholarly communication topics, this bibliography only includes works that are primarily about institutional repositories. Most sources have been published between 2000 and the present; however, a limited number of key sources published prior to 2000 are also included. Where possible, links are provided to e-prints in disciplinary archives and institutional repositories.
