Abstract
When creating an institutional repository (IR) from scratch, there are both challenges and opportunities before the manifestation of the IR, during it, and the final product. Maintaining the IR in kind also introduces additional considerations to navigate. Is it only one person who creates and maintains the IR, or is it the community? Or is it somewhere in between? What is the ideal scenario and what is the realistic outcome? Is there any way to anticipate the bureaucratic demands for the IR’s presence? This presentation answers all these questions, some answers simpler than others using LMU Digital Commons as an example. It also serves as a take away of lessons for people who are planning to make an IR, are in the process of making one, particularly with using Digital Commons as the main platform for it.
