The Repository is intended as an archival storage tool for many types of scholarly output. The bulk of the collection is comprised of theses (at both masters and doctoral levels), conference papers, journal articles, books, chapters in books, working papers and reports.
Measurement
The Library maintains a statistical service that enables authors and other interested parties to view statistics for work held in the Repository. Statistics are generated for authors, by College (or by smaller groupings within the Colleges), or by the 'top' items held in the Repository.
Software
The Repository uses Dspace, an open-source, OAI compliant tool created jointly by MIT and HP Labs. The software is maintained by the University of Canterbury's Library IT department, and by ICTS.
