Abstract

Institutional repositories (IRs) have become a pivotal component in the landscape of library and information science (LIS), serving as crucial platforms for the preservation, dissemination, and management of scholarly content. This study provides a comprehensive global examination of institutional repositories, exploring their development, implementation, and impact across diverse contexts. Through a review of current literature, case studies, and empirical data from various countries, the research identifies key trends, challenges, and best practices in the establishment and operation of IRs. It examines the role of IRs in enhancing access to research outputs, promoting open access, and supporting academic collaboration. The study also highlights the technological advancements and policy frameworks shaping the evolution of IRs worldwide. By synthesizing findings from different regions, this research offers insights into the effectiveness and sustainability of institutional repositories and provides recommendations for improving their functionality and integration within the global LIS infrastructure.
