LIS Study Circle <http://lisstudycircle.blogspot.com/>’s monthly session
took place at Prof. Dr. Khalid Mahmood’s office on  Sept. 10, 2009 . The
topic of discussion was “Institutional Repositories’. The participants
discussed different aspects of the topic, e.g. Definition, Concept,
Characteristics, Software Applications for Institutional Repositories, etc.

The discussion was followed by an Iftar Party by Prof. Dr. Khalid
Mahmood, at a local restaurant of Lahore.

The recommendations of the LIS Study Circle are:

*Recommendation:*

    1. It is recommended to arrange training workshops/seminars/lectures
       to train the LIS professionals of the country to successfully
       implement institutional repositories.
    2. Library Associations/Schools/Professional Groups may propose a
       formal draft for university and special libraries to formally
       implement institutional repositories in their respective
       institutions/organizations.
    3. Libraries should use specialised software applications
       specifically developed for ‘institutional repositories’.  The
       circle recommended DSpace and EPrints software for the development
       of institutional repositories. However it was felt that further
       evaluation is necessary to finalise the choice of software
       applications.
