Introduction
!Repository_home.jpg|thumbnail,align=right!The UC Research Repository is an open-access database of original research authored by Canterbury academics, researchers and postgraduate students. The Repository is intended as a means of exposing UC research to as wide an audience as possible, by providing free access to full-text research, through common internet search tools such as Google Scholar.
Scope
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 Colleges (or by Scool and Department), or even the 'top' ranked items held in the Repository.
