Institutional Repositories: Review and Knowledge Management Perspective

This paper provides a review on current literatures on the concept Institutional Repository (IR) and to propose the use of KM theory to provide understanding on the implementation of IR. We will discuss the issues relevant to IR from the KM view by providing examples which indicated that research can be build on the knowledge gained by KM researchers to augment the understanding of IR. This paper will contribute in bringing together recent research in IR and KM and how these two concepts can collaborate in resulting better understanding of IR implementation.
