If you can figure out what the difference between an 'institutional repository' and a 'digital library' is, let me know.



I think an institutional repository is a type of digital library.

In general, an institutional repository is characterized as content written/created by members of the hosting organization. This is contrasted with collections of digital content -- a digital library -- that might have a similar format, theme, or some other facet that is not specifically identified with the institution.

But I must admit, the genre is not definitive.
