Upload Abstract
An institutional repository is a digital locus of an organization's collective scholarly research and output – a continuing archive of its intellectual capital. Institutional repositories likewise aim to centralize, preserve, and provide access to knowledge generated by its institution to achieve various goals such as administrative convenience, higher research profile, and enhanced visibility. The primary purpose of this study is to present the roadmap for the establishment of an institutional repository at an academic library using Digital Commons by documenting and describing the planning, design, and development of Animo Repository, the recently deployed institutional repository for DLSU libraries. It also looks at the impact of setting up and integrating Animo Repository in the existing workflows of the library. This study also discusses the roles of the Library Management Team and the University's Archives staff and the issues they experienced in the deployment and implementation of Animo Repository. In addition, this case study presents the future applications of Animo Repository to the university's publishing and conference management workflows, given the rich capabilities offered by the platform. The study utilized a descriptive case study research design to determine the initial outcomes of adopting Animo Repository to existing library processes. Pertinent data were culled from a survey among the Archives Staff and Animo Repository Core Team, the lead group tasked to implement and monitor the initial project deployment. Key library management personnel also interviewed and asked for relevant inputs to help the researcher craft a blueprint of future initiatives and services offered by the library while leveraging Animo Repository’s various additional features.
