Wider access and long term preservation of institution based literature has been an issue. Institutional repository aims to capture, digitise, preserve and disseminate the local contents, including grey literature, faculty e-prints, work of students, and primary sources, in order to showcase and maximize the utilization of each institution's wealth of knowledge within the host institution and the global community. This book Institutional Repository in Nigeria: the way forward, dwelt on the subject of institutional repository (IR), It gave a clear understanding on the subject matter and the innumerable values of IR. The strategic planning and digitisation procedures involved in the establishment and sustenance of institutional repositories were highlighted. It also exposed the numerous obstacles contending with the deployment and maintenance of IRs especially in the developing economy, and how the issues can be ratified to ensure an enduring system. No doubt this book is an asset as it delivers a tremendous benefit not only to the academics, librarians and students, but to the entire institutions management system that have either established an IR or thinking of actualising their dream of having a sustainable IR system. It will also be of great value to decision makers as the research findings on institutional repositories in Nigeria included in this book, with the recommendations made will propel development of the society in a new and higher dimension.
