Book Review: The Complete Guide to Institutional Repositories

Abstract

This edited volume by Stephen Craig Finlay on institutional repositories (IRs) involves mostly-United States-based academic library author contributors. These contributions share different project perspectives from scholarly communication and institutional repository librarians, but also share project perspectives from library personnel in the areas of reference, assessment, and special collections. The book is divided into many chapters on planning and implementation of an IR, followed by several case studies and experiences from various libraries and institutions. Most chapters are followed with an extensive list of references and notes for further reading.
