Many academic libraries are actively involved in building institutional repositories of the institution’s books, papers, theses, and other works which can be digitalized or were born digital. Many of these repositories are made available to the general public with few restrictions, in accordance with the goals of open access, in contrast to the publication of research in commercial journals, where the publishers often limit access rights. Institutional, truly free and corporate repositories are sometimes referred to as digital libraries.
