Scholarly communication is in transition
Publication is only one part of the network-enabled “system”
Disciplines are experimenting
Traditional outlets are constrained
New formats present preservation challenges
Required responsibilities not yet defined
![Page 3: Institutional Repositories: the DSpace Experience Ann J. Wolpert Director of Libraries Massachusetts Institute of Technology](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082713/5697c01a1a28abf838ccf28d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Increasing amounts of intellectual output have no print analog.
The digital genie is out of the bottle in all disciplines.
Digital and print need new, interoperable management and access models.
Educational content is increasingly digital in format.
Digital is still frighteningly fragile
![Page 4: Institutional Repositories: the DSpace Experience Ann J. Wolpert Director of Libraries Massachusetts Institute of Technology](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082713/5697c01a1a28abf838ccf28d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The scholarly communications system must work for all.
Disciplines can change their assessments and procedures.Universities can change their standards for judging impact.Authors can use contracts that enhance reader access.Publishers can work for more rational economics for book publishing.Editors can accept responsibility for the cost of their journals.
![Page 5: Institutional Repositories: the DSpace Experience Ann J. Wolpert Director of Libraries Massachusetts Institute of Technology](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082713/5697c01a1a28abf838ccf28d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
To support these changes, new tools are required.
To build “the record” in new formatsTo preserve “the record” in new formatsTo share innovation and informationTo assure affordability and accessTo sustain teaching using new tools and techniquesTo protect university investments

Institutional Repositories offer part of the solution
A tool for faculty and institutions
Institution-based counterweight
Scholarly and educational material in digital formats
Cumulative and perpetual
Open and interoperable
