PALS Conference 04 - Institutional Repositories and Their Impact on Publishing
http://www.palsgroup.org.uk/palsconference04
"Institutional repositories-web-based, institution-focused archives
of scholarly content-have been receiving increasing attention
recently. They are seen by some advocates of self-archiving as a more
promising route to open access than subject-based archives, although
the latter have been very successful in a few disciplines. Their
contents, which are generally freely available, can include
journal article eprints (both preprints and postprints), theses
and dissertations, technical reports, working papers and other
grey literature, datasets and other digital material. A number
of significant developments, such as the launch of MIT's DSpace
in the autumn of 2002, as well as the University of California's
eScholarship and the growth of repositories based on the University of
Southampton's EPrint software, have brought the issue of institutional
repositories increasingly to the fore."

Case studies from leading institutional repositories
