Abstract
This paper evaluates the effect of a Web system which activates institutional repositories. Institutional repository is an important service of libraries in academic institutions. The authors developed a link system between the institutional repository and the researcher database of their university. The system reduces the efforts of researchers by reusing the metadata in the researcher database for registrations of their papers to the repository. The authors observed the access log of the repository before and after the start up of the link system. The result shows that the system increased the number of access, however there was no significant change on the number of registration of papers.
