## Title

Implementation of Institutional Repository at ZCAS University

## Abstract

Research output is the core of every Higher Learning institution because it showcases the lessons learned, experiences and innovations of Faculty, staff and Students at large. It is therefore important to have a central place which may act as an archive for collecting, preserving, and disseminating digital copies of the intellectual output of an institution, particularly a research Such as ZCAS University. However, there is need to adhere to certain standards to ensure that Quality is assured in all aspects. This talk will basically focus on the presenter’s experience in the implementation of the ZCAS institutional Repository which is still work in progress.

## Biography

My name is Buumba M. Dubeka. I am currently the Librarian for ZCAS/ZCAS University [4] and I have been serving in this capacity from June 2018. Prior to joining ZCAS, I was with the Ministry of Education as Librarian at Charles Lwanga College of Education for 5 years. My experience at Charles Lwanga exposed me to the use of integrated Library Systems such as Koha as well as platforms such as DSpace. CLCE was the first College of education to migrate from the browns systems to digital via Koha integrated Library system. I also worked as a Monitoring and Evaluation Officer in a New Partnership Initiative Project funded by USAID under the Brethren in Christ Church (BICC). My first experience in working with Academic Institutions was at the Livingstone Institute of Business and Engineering Studies where I served as an Assistant Librarian just after graduating from UNZA.
