Abstract:
An institutional repository is an online library that collects, preserves, and disseminates digital
copies of the intellectual output of an institution, particularly a research institution. Universities
throughout the world have established such repositories. Africa is no exception. Repositories
are particularly important for Africa because they ensure that African research information
reaches the global knowledge pool and is recognized for its quality. The Regional Universities
Forum for Capacity Building in Agriculture (RUFORUM) therefore places a high premium
on its own institutional repository and promotes the importance of repositories within its 41-
member network of universities.
