Book Review: Rethinking Institutional Repositories: Innovations in Management, Collections, and Inclusion

Abstract

Rethinking Institutional Repositories: Innovations in Management, Collections, and Inclusion by Josh C. Cromwell offers an appealing set of examples of how to rethink the development and innovation of institutional repositories (IRs) in academic libraries. Author contributions provide readers with practical strategies for effective IR management and use cases that offer models for developing a variety of content held in IR collections. Cromwell divided the book into three sections with the first titled “IR Management,” followed by a section on “IR Projects,” and closing with “IR For All,” a section describing efforts to make IRs more inclusive spaces. Each individual chapter contains notes and a bibliography.
