*Apologies for cross-posting*

Hi, everyone.  I am trying to do a cost assessment of both vendor-created
solutions and open-source solutions for creating and maintaining
institutional repositories.

Would anyone who is currently running an open-source institutional
repository be willing to share with me the costs associated with both the
set-up and annual maintenance?  I found some figures on MIT from the
article "Understanding Faculty to Improve Content Recruitment for
Institutional Repositories", Jan. 2005, DLib
<http://www.dlib.org/dlib/january05/foster/01foster.html>, but I was
wondering if any other institutions would be willing to share.

Thank you very much!!!

--Rebecca
