This 227-page study explores the habits and practices of 38 digital repositories from a collection of universities and non-higher education institutions in the United States, Canada, England, Australia, and a host of countries from developed and developing areas alike. With over 400 benchmarking tables, the report cites budgetary and revenue data as well as cataloging and open access statistics, detailing just what items these repositories contain: books, journals, magazines, textbooks, audio and video files, and much more. An emphasis is placed on the repository's marketing efforts, offering insights as to how institutions utilize blogs, press releases, SEO techniques, and other linking strategies to advance the repository's presence. Extensive tracking statistics highlight trends in user downloads and overall visits while also exploring the relationships these repositories maintain with their authors. What strides has the repository taken to establish itself as a publisher in its own right? Which academic departments are most frequently represented in the digital repository? How is the digital repository funded? These questions and more are answered here, with data broken out by public or private status of the college, FTE enrollment, Carnegie class, annual budget, and the number of years the repository has been in operation.
