Most of these were managed by librarians and information professionals. This paper presents the current status of digitization initiatives and institutional repositories by selected libraries (mostly academic libraries), archives, and museums in the Philippines in supporting open access. Objectives of setting up the repository, software used, and compliance with digitization standards will be discussed. The experiences, challenges, and lessons learned in establishing institutional repositories of selected institutions in the Philippines, particularly by academic and special libraries and information centers will be described. The initiatives and experiences of academic librarians in establishing electronic theses and dissertations will also be described. Lastly, the practices, processes, decisions, and problems encountered by librarians and information professionals in developing the IR will be discussed.
