Year: 2012
Type: preprint
Abstract: Institutional repositories are deposits of different types of digital files for access, disseminate and preserve them. This paper aims to explain the importance of repositories in the academic field of engineering as a way to democratize knowledge by teachers, researchers and students to contribute to social and human development. These repositories, usually framed in the Open Access Initiative, allow to ensure access free and open (unrestricted legal and economic) to different sectors of society and, thus, can make use of the services they offer. Finally, that repositories are evolving in the academic and scientific, and different disciplines of engineering should be prepared to provide a range of services through these systems to society of today and tomorrow.
