Australian university repositories (research and publications) – updated 12/08/08

Updated 12th August, 08

I have compiled the following from a combination of the ROAR list, the ARROW list and web searches against a list of Australian universities. It is more up to date than the current ROAR list, but I have also restricted my list to university research and publications repositories. There’s also a detailed list in GoogleGroup InstitutionalRepositoriesCommunity-ANZ, which discovered after compiling this list.

Since posting it here others have directed me to OpenDOAR and the Arrow Discovery Service lists, so am linking them here for some effort at completion.

And the EDNA List of Australian Institutional Repositories.

My initial limited sources served my immediate purpose, which was:

• to get an overview of the extent of use of the different repository platforms in different types of Australian universities (well-funded, less financial, research-teaching emphasis),
• and then to follow through by exploring who was moving from one platform to another and to hopefully make contact and discuss reasons and comparisons. Some of that info is included here, too.
