Abstract:
The Information Centre of NAL with its state-of-the-art
expertise, infrastructure and services initiated setting up of its own
repository during 2003 using, the then most popular open source
software Greenstone Digital Library (GSDL). The work progressed
rapidly with the adoption of the open source software GNU EPrints for
archiving and managing the digital collections. This paper in detail
explains the working model of NAL’s Institutional Repository. It
discusses the technology employed and methodology adopted in
building the same. The collection process of different data types,
processing and depositing the same to IR is discussed in detail. It is
summarized by providing the current status and the statistics on number
of hits received
