The preserved contents as a whole will demonstrate the achievements and influences of organizations. The NTU Repository (NTUR) project is the action which is the response of NTU Library to the converging and emerging issues. The system design of NTUR is based on a well\u2010known open\u2010source package, DSpace, but many of its functional modules are modified to fulfill the requirements of Chinese users. The content acquisition of NTUR is carried out by a machine\u2010aided manual approach, which quickly accumulates the volume of registered digital objects in NTUR.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>With comparison to other IR systems, it is found that a content\u2010rich system with the much friendlier user interface like NTUR could be constructed in an effective way. The post\u2010processing for search results \u2013 which is very unique feature of NTUR \u2013 could be also implemented effectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>Many investigations point out that an open\u2010access IR system can decrease the cost in dissemination of scholarly information and increase the impacts of research outputs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The practical approach to the construction of an institutional repository at NTU has been proposed. The approach can make NTUR quickly acquire a large volume of digital objects. This makes NTUR a much more content\u2010rich repository with comparison to other similar IR systems.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/02640470910947566","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,4,27]],"date-time":"2009-04-27T05:01:23Z","timestamp":1240808483000},"page":"204-221","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["The unique approach to institutional repository"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Kuang\u2010hua","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jieh","family":"Hsiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022031120444638200_b2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bergstrom, T.C.
