Introduction This paper alms ID provllla a 'snapahot' of the - of AUll!nlllen lnltfllJllonal n1posltDrlm as llt Septl!mber 2006. In doing so, It builds on slmllar research carw1uslng lnsttb.ltlonal repoelmrtes In parflcLMr counlrtls such as the Unlled Statm (lllllley, 111t11I., 2006; Lynch and Upplnc:otl;. 2005; R.lltn, lilt 111., 2007), Cenedll {Shearer, 2006), Br11111n (Wiison, 2006) and f'nlnas (Baruch, 2007).

A camplam descrlpllan of the AUltrdan lnltfllJllonal repoeltDry sllulltlon does not curn1ntjy mclllt. 'lb dllm lhel'9 have been sevensl lnlll!rnatlonal surveys lnc:orponsllng datlll from AllPtnllian reposU:ortes lnclldrng an lnmnnatlanal stlJdy which looked at 13 nations (van Wl!rrtrfenen and Lynch, 2005}. The Information on AllPtnllia uAd In this paper was obtllllned by siendrng a survey ID - ldverslt.y l!brartan In Aulllnllia who answered lhe quMtlons (Vlln w.trlenen, 2005}. &ecel.llH!I lhe 1UVey did not dlsjl!ngulllh between diglllll lhe81111'9poaltDrlaa end lnlltfb.rtfon111 reposltDrtes, and because lhe IStllltlsttas requellllsd were v-nslly for averages aC70ISS the country, the p'k:llJre painted by thlll rween:h of the AUll!nlll11n 1'9posltDry slb.illtlon - somewhat optimistic.

T!Mre are currently several Wlsb •llm which collate lnformltfon about repositories worldwfde, but these - problems for creating a definitive list for a single c:olrby. T'1e Registry of OP111n Aaiess R.lilpo&/lorffl& desert bes the pllllform the repository Is based on, when Iha repository was reglsll!red wllh the ISl!l'Ylce and glVes a Qlll!Ullllllle depofllt {!lrocly, 2007). However there Is no way of distinguishing whet type of deposits these ans (llTll!IM, or memdm-onry Items for example, do not II\: the criteria of open ac:cess pns- or poft-prlnt papers). In addition, whens en lnltfb.rtfon h11 changed ph1tfarms, the two repositories apper as Apa rate enlltfes, even If the eerier repository hes been abeorbed Into the newer one. Open.DOAR, another wartd-wfda lnsUtutfonal repository list, proytdas a desalplfon of ll'K' 1"41!1X11111Dry, the number of Items In It, the sotbwu~ platform, the contient. and pollcle.s (Plnfleld, 2008).

Qrrenllv there are sevens! web sll8 W which speclftc:ally contain Information about Austnl!an repositories.

Background A\Snlllan lns!lb.ltlonal reposl!Drfes present an lntierestfng case because the Austnlllan govemment has been pivollll In supporting the development ot lnstfllltfOnal ~ In AUlllnllla. In 2002, rn a n!port to the AUllll'lllan government, Ille CNer Sdmlllt hlghllghlle(I (among many other ltllngt) the Importance of ltle acoesslbllty and dissemination of research (Balllemam, 2002). In 2003, as a major flJnder or re~arch, ltle Auslrllllan government ltlrough ltle depat1ment responsible for research flJrldlng, allocalled flJrllls on a competfllYe basis for ltle development of research lnl'ormatlon lnlnuwcture lndudlng open aa:es.s lnslltutlanel repositories In universities. As a result a number of universltfe.s and con.sortlll began repository testing and lmplementllltlon ll'om lhl's time {Auslnlllan Dl!j:Nlrtment or Educetfan Science and 1hllnlng, n.d.}. Of the many projects supporte<I, ltlree -re directly rellltl!d to lnstfll.rtfonal repositories:

• Australian Partnership l'or Sustllllnable Repositories (APSR); • Ausilnlllan Research Reposltorle5 Online to ltle World (ARROW); and, • Regional Universities Bulldlng Research lnl'nlstrucilJre Collabol"llllYely (RUl!RJC).

The ARROW project comprised or a consortium of universltfe.s and the Nltfonal Ubrary or Austral le, focusing on lclentftylng and testfng software or solutions to support lnstfb.rllonel repositories. The APSR project focused on demonstrating the fellslblllty of using open source soflwllre tD establllll lnltfb.ltlonal reposltorfes apsble or providing open accesm to a broad spectrum or dlgltll objeetl relevant to the ree1m:h proce11.

Methodology We CDnsb"ucted a survey based on questions aiming 1D provide background information on the current state of open access instibJtional reposih:Jries in Ausb"alia. The survey w;is developed using the c:>mmercial Web-based survey software produced by 'SurveyMonkey' [fil . The survey was pretested by two repository managers and a domain expert in open access and institutional repositories for clarity of expression and relevance. The survey was disbibuted to repository managers on Monday, 25 August 2008. Reminders were sent the weeks beginning 1 September and 8 September. The final survey w;is received on Friday, 12 September 2008.

The Web-based survey was distributed via a link in an e-mail message to repository managers who were initially identified from a list provided by the ADS at the National Library of Australia. This list was correlated with a list from Universities Australia, the industry peak body. We invited the 38 repository managers from the lists provided, plus one from a private university not affiliated with Universities Australia. In a few instances the recipient forwarded the survey to a diffl!rent contact within the Institution.

Results and discussion From the 39 potential respondents, we received 38 responses, a response rate of 97.4 percent Not all of the 38 respondents answered each question; therefore numbers reported for each question may be different. Similarly where percentages are given they may not add up to 100 due to rounding. Of the 38 responding institutions, 32 institutions have active repositories, of which 31 are openly accessible, in that the public can search and open items within them. Three more Institutions were planning to launch later In 2008, and two Indicate they have plans to launch In 2009, and the closed access repository Is planning to open access to Items In 2009. Thus of the 38 responding Australian universities, 37 should have repositories by the end of 2009.

Interestingly, however, despite the growth In operational lnstltutlonal reposltDrles, the funding Is not secure. Only 20 universities have funding for their reposltDry staff and 24 universities have funding l'Dr their repository platl'Drm, either as ongoing recurrent budgeting or absorbed lntD their Institutions budgets (see ~­In the notes field attached to the question, some respondents without ongoing funding indicated they were expecting, or hoping, that the funding would be absorbed into their institution's operational budget after the project funding, or that they had applied to their institution for ongoing funding. Eighteen universities' repositories were on some l'Drm of project funding. Of those, 11 indicated their funding would run out at the end of 2008, six in 2009 and one in 2010. It will be interesting IXI see how this situation is resolved. The others did not note when their project funding would expire.

Given these Issues with funding, we were Interested In how universities were staffing their repositories and how many full-time equivalent (FTEJ staff were allocated to repositories. Not surprlslngly we round a broad range of stamng numbers and options. Only six universities Indicated that they a !located staff to the marl<etlng of the repository, with four of these being less than o.s FTE. Seven universities also Indicated that they employed a business analyst, three of these being one full­time staff member, the remainder were less than 0.3 FTE. Of the 10 universities providing faculty/academic support,. three have one or more FTE staff, with the remaining seven having less than 0.5 FTE staff allocab!d to the role.

Five institutions reported they had an institution-wide open access mandate (which we define as a requirement by the institution that researchers deposit a copy of all their published works in the institution's repository). Only four are recorded in ROARMAP [fil. This however may change. Mandates are likely to spread in Australia with the 2008 Innovation Report by the Australian government containing recommendations such as:

Ret:0mmendation 7.lO: A specific strall!gy fOr ensuring the scientific knowledge produced in Australia is placed in machine searchable repositrJries to be developed using public funding agencies and universities and drivers. Recommendation 7.l4: To the maximum extent practicable, information, researrh and conll!nt funded by Australian government including national collections should be made freely available over the In!Emet as part of the global public commons •... (Australian Government Depa rtrnent of Innovation, 2008).

Interestingly, while only nve universities mendated deposit of their research output In the form of author's versions of peer reviewed output. 20 mandate that research students deposit theses. And despite the Government's lncreHlngly clear Indications of support of open access and mandates, only nine Institutions Indicated they were planning a mandate, and only 20 Institutions Indicated that at the time of the survey they were not. A mandate Is one successful way for an Institution tD recruit content ID Its reposltDry (Cochrane and Callan, 2007; Sale, 2006). We were Interested In what other methods of content recruitment were applled. lll.bJ.e.....l below Indicates that most repositories relled on lndlvldual approaches to researchers by reposltDry staff and voluntary contributions to reposltDr1es. Also Interestingly 18 Institutions report that they are planning on tying In their repository submissions with Higher Education Research Datil Collection (HERDC) reporting. The Austnillan government uses data from HERDC about research Income and publlcatlons to determine future funding a llocatlons. Other content recruitment methods reported Include: batch Ingest from research reporting systl!ms and faculty Web pages (usually metlldatll only) coupled with va rtous full text recruitment strategies, running otrlclal launches coupled with demonstrations, trawling the Internet for material, running workshops by repository champions, working with faculty on digitisation projects and harvesting material from publisher data bases where publishers permit the use of publishers' PDF files.

With few exceptjons, the lnstlt1Jtlon11I reposftDries In Austnllla are the responslblllty of the lnstlll.ltlon's library. At five unlversllles the repository falls under the umbrella of the Division of Information, which Incorporates Information Technology and the Ubrary. Three others Indicated the repository was jointly shared by the Ubrary and Research. In some Institutions, responslblllty for the reposltDry rs shared amongst several organrsatlonal units, for example, one stated that the Ubrary was responsible for metadata, the Research Support Office for policy and ICTS for the server, and another Indicated the Library works In coliaboratlon with Research Services and the Information Technology Director.

Not surprisingly, given that most of the reposftDries are run by the Ubrary, or the Library hus a sey In their management, most of the repository managers have a background as a librarian. Of those that Indicated 'Other" In ~ four ldentlfled as library systems or IT managers, one as e-Research program co-ordinator, one as university archivist, two as contnlctor or project manager, and one was both a library staff member and IT staff member.

Given that most repositories are developed and maintained by librarians we were Interested to see what types of repository speclnc training those nmnlng repositories had been given <n.1!11...5) , Only 14, or 39 percent, had received repository specific tra lnlng, although 20 (55.6 percent) had received repository software related training, and 28 (77 .8 percent) had attended reposftDry related conferences. Most (33 or 91. 7 percent) had attended APRS or ARROW workshops. Only six (16.7 percent) had received training speclncally related to scholarly communications.

The platform most frequently used for Australian repositories is Fedora with Vital. Most of the remaining sites use EPrints or DSpace, although there is a sprinkling of other platforms (Table 6). Two universities are still deciding on which repository platform they may use, one deliberating between Digitool or Fedora + Fez, and the other as yet undecided.

By a sma II majority, most universities belong to a consortium Cfll!!lLZ). Of those that do, consortium membership is highly correlated with choice of repository platform for ARROW members, where 13 of the 16 ARROW members report operating on the Fedora/Vital platform. APSR has focussed more on lnteroperablllty and Its membership operates an a mix of DSpace (3), Fedora+Fez, EPrints and Equella.

We also surveyed respondents regarding the services they offer their Institution's academic community. The resulls are presented In ~ below. Addltlonal services reported Included: scrlptjng of a search box to be placed on Faculty, School, or Individual Web sites, generating personalised lisls of publications, scripls to generate citation lists from local content, assistance with setting up open access journals, value adding DOis and other permanent URLs, adding copyright statements, adding abstracts and keywords, assigning Reid of Research Codes (FaR codes) allocated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, adding ISi LOCs and Scopus links, and bulk Ingesting records from EndNote Ubrarles. One repository offered a 'do It for you, all Inclusive service'. Two repositories (based on the Fedora/Vita I platform) reported problems with their download statistics resultlng temporary disablement of this function. Interestingly, eight (22.2 percent) or the 36 Institutions responding to this question already link their open access repositories with their research reporting and 17 (44.7 percent) plan to do so. If a full text, author's peer-reviewed pre-publication manuscript must also be submitted this wlll provide a much needed boost for open access In Australia.

John Shipp (2006) reported approximately 9,000 Items In the 14 repositories In existence In January that year. We asked survey recipients for their current holdings broken down by type (as we were trying ID distinguish pa rtlcularly between holdlngs that were metadata only, and true open access holdings). Only 11 of our respondents responded ID this question, with lnfonnal verbal reports from the non-responders Indicating that this was dlfflcult for them m provide. Those that did respond are reported ln llllZll:...l! below. Please note that the ngures In the second column of this table are for full text journal artlcles and conference papers only, although most Institutions collect many other resource types. The ngures ln the nrst column for the ADS are for mm I repository holdings; therefore we are unable tD discern whether they are full text, metadata only, or what format or type of content Is represenbed by the numbers. We can however clearly see that the tDtal number of Items has risen dramatlca lly In the one and a half years since Shlpp's report, even when only a small number of repositories full-text holdlngs are reported. Not unexpectedly the institution wittl the highest number of full-text holdings has the longest standing deposit mandate, Queensland University of Technology.

We asked further questions about the holdlngs In reposltortes over time, and the HERDC reportable Items, to try and ascertain the potentlal numbers of deposits In reposltortes against actual deposits. We received too few responses to these questions to make reporting them worth while. Slmlla rly, responses to our questions regarding download statistics did not garner enough responses to warrant reporting.

The Open Archives Initiative (OAI) [Z] develops and promotes lnteroperablllty smnda rds ttiat aim ID facilitate the efficient dissemination of content. The OAl's Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) was created ID facllllab! harvesting of distributed resources. It Is •a simple, yet powerful framewor1c for metadam harvesting. Harvesters can Incrementally gather records conmrned In OAl-PMH reposltortes and use lhem ID create services covering the conb!nt of several repositories• (van de Sompel, eta/., 2003). OAI-PMH could be used, for example, to provide federated searching, ID enable papers deposited in institutional repositories ID have ttleir metadatci exposed and be harvested by ottier repositories, for example disciplinary or subject repositories.

We received 36 responses to our questions about Google Scholar and OAI-PMH compatlblllty. Sixteen (44.4 percent) respondents lndlcati:d their reposltcrles were reglsti:red with Google Scholar, and 16 (44.4 percent) were pl11nnlng tc reglsti:r. Five (13.5 percent) were not reglsti:red and not planning to. 1Wenty-elght (75.7 percent) are OAl-PMH compliant and nine (24.3 percent) are planning to be. We were surprised that only 18 of the 31 active repositories supplied us with their OAl-PMH URLs. We asked for these because, llke ttie repository URL. the OAI-PMH URL exists to make the conti:nt of ttie repository publlc.

The URLs, OAI-PMH URLs and other institutional information regarding the repositories reporb!d in this survey are supplied in the~.

Conclusions Austra Ila n reposltxlrles are growing rapidly, but reposltxlry staff are stlll using labour Intensive ways of recruiting content for repositories, for example by lndlvldually approaching researchers and trawling the Web and databases for work conducted within their Institution, when It Is clear that the current Government Is Indicating lhat It wrll support mandates.

Most repositories in Australia are run by libraries and librerians. This is probably appropriate es librarians ere information managers by profession. However, repository work also Involves an understanding of Information systems and technology, awareness of the detalled world of scholarly communication as well as more speclallsed Information science skllls such as lnformetrlcs, blbllometrlcs, webometrlcs and log flies analyses. There Is clearty a need for more specialised training or education, either as 11 part of, or In addition to, existing progrems (Zuccala, et al., 2008). While lhe Austrellan consortlums ARROW and APSR have clearty been fllllng some of ttils role with their wor1cshops, as repositories evolve and the consortium's funding completes, more speclallsed formal trelnlng Is likely to be required.

Australia differs from the U.S. in the most prevalent repository software platform. Rieh, eta/. (2007) found DSpace the most popular platform in the U.S~ but in Australia the popularity of Fedore is most likely ID be related ID high membership amongst universities of the ARROW consortium which collaborated with VTLS [!!] (a company which specialises In llbrery software solutlons) ID develop the user lnti:rfllce and other web based 11ppllcatlons called Vltal for the Fedora platform.

This survey Indicates there rs continued strong growlh of rnstltutlonal reposltortes In Australia. Some are stlll on project funding, but Increasingly they are absorbed lnlD the Institution's operational costs With ongoing recurrent t'Undlng. There are clear Indications from the Australian government that It would like universities to

make their research more openly accessible and Institutional repositories are flrmly slated ID play a role In this agenda. The growth wlll continue.~ of artlcle
