    Abstract

    Core to the values of librarianship and information science, and also the vision of instructional repositories, is the concept of service. A repository is not just a system, but a suite of services. Building a repository system (or buying a repository package from one of the many repository vendors), adding content, and the letting that content sit untouched or evaluated, is not fully embodying the idea of service created for an institution and its mission. Creating a repository metrics program allows for better understanding of how repository content is used by online audiences and can be the starting point for discussing the impact and reach of an institution’s online content. This article outlines basics steps to starting and maintaining such a program.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
