Abstract
As the demand of faculty and students for scholarly information increases, university libraries have found it more and more difficult to deal with the ballooning costs of academic publications. Even in the best of economic times, university libraries cannot hope to keep pace with publishers' annual inflation rate in the price of scholarly journals.
The concept of Institutional Repository System is to preserve scholarly publishing and to enhance the access to academic resources in cost-effective ways. Through institutional repositories, Universities are able to share their collections with little efforts by Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH).
Several organizations worldwide are developing institutional repository systems. Some of them are already well known. DSpace, developed jointly by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Hewlett-Packard (HP), DSpace is freely available to research institutions worldwide. Similarly, Eprints, designed and implemented by University of Southampton, offers a self - archiving systems for scholars.
The goal of this thesis is to develop an institutional repository system based on DSpace, intended to provide economic and educational advantages for all our research institutions in Taiwan.
