Abstract
Purpose
– Research dissemination is a core mission for all universities. As a result, libraries should adopt this mission, utilizing institutional repositories services to support this goal. This paper aims to explore management models that institutional repositories can use for this purpose.
Design/methodology/approach
– By using research dissemination as a primary objective, individual management models are reviewed for their ability to accomplish this goal. Institutional repository services resulting from this purpose are also described.
Findings
– By adopting these kinds of models, libraries can develop new services that go beyond traditional library services and provide key support for the dissemination of a university's scholarship.
Originality/value
– This article challenges the existing ideology surrounding institutional repositories and helps frame these services as a core component for fulfilling an important university mission.
