Abstract: Software is a critical digital content component that is generated on academic campus by way of mandatory course requirements. These software need to be protected with an assigned ownership and a specific terms of use. Software that is generated on campuses typically does not get archived or catalogued in campus-wide repositories. SALIS a prototype software repository addresses these needs and serves to augment typical institutional repositories. This paper attempts to bring out the need for protecting the software generated on campuses and the need to archive it in an orderly manner. Additionally SALIS also addresses Intellectual Property concerns such as ownership, protection and terms of use of the software produced and provide an effective way of archiving URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1190 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: 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.
