Abstract: The purpose of the present study is to highlight the prevailing scenario of open access through institutional repository by the university libraries of North East India and to explore the place of institutional repositories in providing open access. The methodology adopted for the study include:personal visit to the libraries concerned, interviewing with the working LIS professionals and using a semi- structured questionnaire as tool for the data collection. Taking into account20 universities of the region, the study mainly emphasised upon the strategies of the universities towards building such repositories and making available the data resources to enhance accessibility in the open environment.As the major findings of the study show, many of the university libraries in the region are found to initiate strategies to build IRs using DSpace though they face dearth of skilled professionals and keeping archiving policy optional, while ETD and institutional publications are making available in the IRs. The study also suggests that universities in North East India should come forward to support OA movement.
