Department of Library and Information Science Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University Lucknow, India., Project Associate, INFLIBNET Gandhinagar, Gujarat India. | | Abstract: Background: To reduce costs, provide more information for a lower price, and preserve the documents for a more extended period for future generations, it is best to implement sustainable repositories in libraries. Libraries are always given a limited budget, but study materials are unlimited, and there are also many users. Since literature has always been crucial to everyone, including nations, individuals, and organizations, it must be protected.Gathering, preserving, and sharing an institution’s intellectual output is the core goal of an institutional repository (IR). This data makes it easier to understand and discuss a particular institution. In Bharat, the open access movement has already started to take hold.
Scope: The current study focuses on how autonomous institutions in some regions, which consist of three diverse states and one Union territory in India, can maintain their repositories and implementation methods over the long term. For this study, a total of six independent institutions were chosen. Method: Online questionnaires are currently the most used way of data collecting, and the study used them.
Findings: The library website is the most popular repository promotion method. Suggestion: Institutions should enhance user satisfaction with repository features such as content accessibility, user interface, file formats, and submission processes.
