“…Reference librarians are strategically placed to promote and administer institutional repository initiatives successfully. The professional challenge rests in reference librarians' readiness to become scholarly publishing change agents (Phillips, Carr & Teal, 2005). Knowledge accessibility is limited to the amount of knowledge librarians can collect and share.…”

The Role of Librarians on the Use of Institutional Repositories in Higher Learning Institutions in Kenya 1. Introduction Globally institutional repositories (IRs) are catalytic of transformative role in academic knowledge management (KM). This role is vital to knowledge activities including the acquisition, creation, conversion, sharing, dissemination, transfer, preservation, and reuse of knowledge in higher education (Arjun, 2017). Knowledge management practices and processes have roots in library practices anteceding institutional repositories. Thus, the library as an avenue for knowledge management can effectively become a physical or virtual place for open access and scholarly communication only if librarians' step outside traditional roles (Laura, 2010). IRs continues to play such a transformative role through digital curation and dissemination of knowledge in the changing landscape of scholarly communication, and sharing such knowledge within and beyond the parent institution (Arjun, 2017). A repository, deposit or file is a centralized website where digital information, usually databases or computer files are stored and maintained. They can contain files on the server or reference from its website to the original accommodation. They can be of public access, or may be protected and need a pre-authentication (Álvarez, Segoviano & Quintana, 2012). An institutional repository (IR) is defined to be a web-based database (repository) of scholarly material which is institutionally defined (as opposed to a subject-based repository); cumulative and perpetual (a collection of record); open and interoperable (e.g. using Open archive initiative-compliant software); and thus collects, stores and disseminates scholarly information (Ware, 2004). Institutional repository is a basic constituent of every knowledge management system.

“…Pustakawan memiliki peran yang strategis dalam administrasi dan mempromosikan keberhasilan membangun repositori institusi (Phillips, Carr, dan Teal, 2005). Kaitannya dalam administrasi, pustakawan harus menyediakan akses terbuka untuk informasi, tetapi di sisi lain pustakawan wajib melindungi karya ilmiah yang terkandung didalamnya (Nilsson, 2016), yang erat kaitannya dengan hak cipta.…”

<p>Repositori institusi merupakan media preservasi bagi semua karya ilmiah yang diterbitkan oleh institusi. Repositori bersifat open akses, sehingga bisa diakses oleh segenap civitas akademika maupun pihak lain. Pustakawan memiliki peran yang sangat strategis didalam membangun dan mengembangkan repositori institusi. Tetapi disisi lain pustakawan juga wajib menjaga hak cipta dari karya ilmiah yang ada didalamnya. Pustakawan harus memiliki kompetensi literasi informasi. Ketrampilan literasi informasi merupakan salah satu solusi untuk menghindari pelanggaran hak cipta, maka pembekalan ketrampilan literasi informasi bagi mahasiswa menjadi suatu kewajiban bagi setiap institusi.</p>

“…The 2007 DLP 33,4 Census of the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) has indicated that libraries play a central role in managing content in the IR by involving public and technical servicesincluding systems staffin the process (Markey et al, 2007). Reference librarians also have a strategic advantage by virtue of their role to promote and manage the institutional repository, as they can integrate the IR into various librarian roles such as marketing and outreach (Phillips et al, 2005).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this case study is to demonstrate a current model, as well as explore future models, for integrating institutional repositories (IRs) in higher education goals at the University of Toledo. Design/methodology/approachThis is a case study that uses literature review as an exploratory framework for new approaches while reflecting on existing literature to present the current practical framework for using IRs. FindingsThe digital environment has pushed academic institutions toward new strategies for curating their record on scholarship and preserving their heritage collections, using their IRs. Innovative approaches are also vital to curating the IR content digitally to facilitate access to those contents in ways that was not possible a few decades ago. Surveys and existing literature point to increasing uses of IRs despite abstinence from considering open access for scholarly activity among faculty concerned about copyright, plagiarism and sustainability. Staffing and funding IR initiatives are important factors in sustaining the curation of scholarship in the digital environment. Practical implicationsIRs with open access publishing, expert gallery and digital library features place academic libraries in a central role as partners in digital scholarship. Originality/valueThis case study presents an original approach to incorporating the IR into the curation of digital content while also considering potential uses of knowledge management approaches for data and knowledge sharing in an academic environment.
