We are pleased to announce that Loughborough University’s Institutional Repository (IR) has now reached the landmark figure of 5000 items, making it one of the largest full-text IRs in the UK. The lucky submitter of the 5000th item is Chris Tuck of the Wolfson School. Chris is pictured above receiving his award of a festive hamper from the University Librarian, Ruth Jenkins.
The Institutional Repository showcases the University’s research output and contains a range of materials including journal articles, conference papers, book chapters, official reports, PhDs and moving images. The repository makes the University’s research output freely available to the wider research community, thus increasing its impact and citation rates (around 90% of the repository’s content is open access).
