University libraries manage not only commercial electronic resources, but also documents generated by research and educational activities at their own institutions. Libraries are committed to disseminating these electronic documents, which usually requires that they compile and store them as well as guaranteeing their preservation. The best way to achieve this objective is e-information repositories. We briefly present an overview of the free software available to develop repositories, with a special focus on the software used to build Catalan cooperative repositories. We also review desireable system characteristics, such as the use of open communication standards between repositories, preservation strategies for digital content, and user communities.
