2008

Developing a Digital Repository, BRAC University, Bangladesh, 26 June 2008
 
This one day workshop, attended by 35 participants, was presented to share experiences resulting from the setting up of an institutional repository at BRAC University.  A session on the challenges now faced, such as sustainability and how to maximise  usage of this excellent facility, enabled discussion on future plans. It is hoped that similar facilities will be created at other institutions leading to the overall aim expressed to make an institutional repository network of university libraries in Bangladesh for a dramatic change in library and information services.
