There is a "sleeping beast of demand" for institutional repositories (IRs) at master's and baccalaureate institutions in the United States, according to the authors of a new report released today by the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR). The report presents results of the first census of U.S. academic institutions with respect to their involvement with IRs.
The report, Census of Institutional Repositories in the United States: MIRACLE Project Research Findings, was written by Karen Markey, Soo Young Rieh, Beth St. Jean, Jihyun Kim, and Elizabeth Yakel of the University of Michigan School of Information, and includes a foreword by Abby Smith. Census research was supported by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
