Lisa Williams looks at a study of institutional content repositories. "An April 2004 survey of 45 IRs found the average number of documents to be only 1,250 per repository, with a median of 290. This is a small number when considering the hundreds of thousands of dollars and staff hours that go into establishing and maintaining an IR." Well, yeah, but where does the problem lie - in the design of the repository software, as Williams seems to suggest? Or in an institutional structure that always seems to turn a simple idea into an expensive project?
