Abstract

Repositories emerge as an initiative to improve access to knowledge, constituting a digital-based alternative for academic communication. The need to develop a repository for the Universidad Privada María Serrana is proposed, given the need to create a space for disseminating and accessing academic works. The general objective was to analyze the perspective and transcendence of the institutional repository, and the specific objectives were to define the importance of creating an institutional digital repository, to determine the objectives and the content or type of materials, and to point out the benefits and difficulties that the development of the repository would have. It was a non-experimental, quantitative, descriptive, and cross- sectional research, applying an express questionnaire using Google Forms. The sampling was non-probabilistic, voluntary, and intentional, aimed at students and teachers from a population of 980 students and 130 teachers, with 105 students and 31 teachers participating. As the main results, all participants determined that creating an institutional repository was necessary, most of them considering that the objective would be to manage, preserve, and maintain the academic material in digital files. Regarding the reasons and importance of its creation, with most frequencies in the significant degree, they placed the option referred to the changes and technological advances.
