Abstract


This paper presents a pilot phase of the development of an open access institutional repository of the Faculty of Humanities, Chiang Mai University. An open source content management system software, known as Drupal was chosen to use for the institutional repository (IR). This IR aims to be the center where research and scholarly work can be published digitally for free online access as well as digital preservation. Materials in the IR include journal articles, research reports, and instructional materials. Necessary steps for setting up an IR had been taken.
