EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL OF INSTITUTIONAL REPOSITORIES IN RESEARCH CENTRES LIBRARIES

Abstract

It is an attempt to highlight the works of research centers and the influence of their research findings on national policy. The good research output is the thrust of national development of any nation. Thus, to leave research works unutilized is a disservice to the nation. Efforts made by librarians in research libraries to bridge information gap, and preservation techniques employed to preserve the institutional memory are reviewed. The ethics of the workplace is considered a major factor. The paper clearly indicates the need for librarians to engage in effective management of electronic documents which requires standards for dissemination of research findings.
