In the December 2, 2006 SPARC Open Access Newsletter, Peter Suber predicts that in
2007, "[Institutional repositories] will soon be a new fact of life for universities, like
libraries or web sites, and the discussion will shift from their utility to the best practices
for filling them." (Issue #104, http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/newsletter/12-02-
06.htm, accessed 12.06.2006) Georgia Tech's DSpace based institutional repository,
SMARTech, reached 10,000 items shortly after 2 years in existence. Georgia Tech has
also instituted a dark archive, named Aardvark, also based on the DSpace software for inhouse
management of the Archives' digital materials, to serve as the basis for future
public digital exhibits. Aardvark currently houses around 1,500 records and over 240
gigabytes of materials.
