"Implementing an Institutional Repository: Benefits and 
Challenges" A MidWinter symposium presented by the Association 
for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS)

Has your institution begun to develop, or is it considering 
developing, an institutional repository? If so, will there be a 
role for the library? Whether you answered 'yes' or 'no' to this 
question, please join us to consider the challenges, pitfalls and 
promises of establishing and supporting an institutional 
repository.  An outstanding panel of presenters will discuss the 
legal and access issues as well as various IR platforms and 
models that will provide attendees with the means to make 
informed decisions regarding the introduction of an institutional 
repository.
