Advances in Information Communication Technology (ICT) has created immense methods
for creating, storing, maintaining, accessing and preserving the traditional printed
documents in digital form. The different publishers have taken the full advantage of
publishing the research outputs of the academicians and deprive the institutions and the
community of the institution from the research outputs. This paper explores the importance
of Institutional Repository (IR) and the role of the Open Source Software (OSS) in
building the Institutional Repository of any institution. To publish and serve the community
of an institution building institutional repositories is the most feasible solution. We
have to take the help of some special software packages to build up an institutional
repository and the role of open source software in this regard is very important. The
institutions which are economically not strong enough can take the advantage of using
open source software to build up their own institutional repository and can expose their
knowledge stock to the world. |
