Comparisons are made for content considered in scope of the university archives and those considered out of scope, for materials originating from different campus sources, and for different types of content. Results show that both mediated and unmediated content is used and therefore justifies the preservation costs for unmediated content. Results also show articles and undergraduate theses are most frequently used type of materials leading to the conclusion that it is important to collect content from all levels of the educational process.

A literature review revealed that the majority of articles addressing the impact of institutional repositories on library operations emphasize the role of public services. In an effort to determine if the Ohio State experience was unusual, a survey was sent to 123 ARL libraries through the ARL director’s listserv. The survey was designed to determine how the management and workload associated with institutional repositories is distributed across the library including whether IR responsibilities are fulfilled in TS and whether there has been reorganization of TS to handle the IR. Twenty-one percent (21%) of the libraries returned the survey. Most of the institutions indicated that the operation and management of the IR is distributed across multiple units of the library. Most also reported heavy technical services involvement. The fact that 86% of the technical services positions involved in the IR are not new indicates that in general technical services units have not been reorganized. Overall, there are many similarities between Ohio State and the institutions responding to our survey. The services for the IR are widely distributed across multiple units of libraries and the institutions in this study reported heavy technical services involvement. However, the involvement of technical services at Ohio State is among the strongest. The University Archives has determined that this item is of continuing value to OSU's history.

As more and more information is created in digital formats at the individual, desktop level, institutions are beginning to turn their attention to how to identify and manage these digital assets for long-term use and preservation. This requires an understanding of the knowledge management movement and the associated maturing digital asset management technology.
