Abstract
An institutional repository (IR) was launched in 2010 for a young university in Singapore. The motivations of setting up an IR were to dissemination the research output through open access, to promote the university and researchers, and to help increase their research impact. A review was conducted on the strategies to build the IR. Some quantitative and qualitative performance indicators were selected and used to measure the success of the IR. The findings of the review were presented and strategies that were successful in building the IR were having a workflow process between the research information system and the repository, having effective promotional activities, leveraging on institutional policies and research funder requirements to obtain full text, and proactively searching for full text.
