Institutions face many issues when they plan and implement institutional repositories, collections of the digital products of intellectual productivity. Leaders of four pioneering projects gave an overview of their initiatives in the previous briefing. In this session, they will focus on the fucntionality they are seeking in the software they are implementing. They will also describe the technical environment in which they are working and the challenges presented by the types of digital content that they must incorporate into the repository and preserve for the long term.
