"There is a place for such an overview and this book goes a long way towards fulfilling its aim. .covers a wide range of factors that have influenced the development of the institutional repositories in a logical dispassionate manner. With each factor she covers all aspects; every group of stakeholders, all material types are covered, and infrastructure, metadata, preservation, and possibilities of data interchange are aired." --Library Management
