Description
The paper seeks to evaluate the creation and use of Open Access Institutional Repository (IR) at the University of Jos. The repository was launched in June 2019 and was the first Institutional Repository in Nigeria. Using a mix method of Interview, observation, and focus group meetings, the research aims at providing empirical evidence for the acceptability, use and development of IR in the institution. The back-end workflow, and success of advocacy will also be evaluated. The result will provide insight into the prospects and challenges of creating and operationalising Open Access Institutional Repositories in Nigerian universities.
