Over the last decade Institutional repositories have winged up in Academic institutions to provide archival storage and dissemination services for locally-authored digital scholarship, primarily in the form of the traditional peer-reviewed article. Libraries around the world are building up their own Institutional repository centre using a variety of software packages for digital asset and content management and also collect, preserve and provide access to these digital objects. However the implementation of IR's has not rapidly changed the landscape of scholarly communication as expected and without institutional deposit mandates, many remain underused for their primary purpose. Today, a shift is occurring in academia that has signaled an increased need for the stewardship of digital research data, for example, the expectation by federal funding agencies that researchers share their data and plan for preservation and long-term access. The IR provides academic libraries a ready opportunity to assist researchers with digital data preservation using their established repository services, particularly where national and disciplinary data centers are not available. At the University UNISWA our IR is based on DSpace software. This paper will highlight the policy decisions, user-needs assessments, and technical infrastructure plans for building up the Institutional repositories (IR) to meet data archiving needs across the campuses
