Description
Institutional repositories (IRs) are vital tools for preserving and showcasing the intellectual output of healthcare organizations, yet they often struggle to keep pace with the volume and complexity of modern research. This presentation explores how a librarian-led initiative is reimagining the IR as a dynamic, accessible, and strategic resource. By integrating automated harvesting and metadata enhancement tools, the repository supports more efficient collection, organization, and discovery of institutional publications—without placing undue burden on library staff or researchers.
