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.
