TU Delft institutional repository
The TU Delft Beeldbank (MMR) is part of the TU Delft Institutional Repository. The TU Delft Institutional Repository is an online locus for collecting, preserving, and disseminating -- in digital form -- the intellectual output of the TU Delft. This includes materials such as research journal articles, digital versions of student theses (BSc/MSc) and dissertations, but it also includes digital assets generated by normal academic life, such as administrative documents, course notes, or learning objects.
The main objectives for having an institutional repository are:
- to create global visibility for an institution's scholarly research;
- to collect content in a single location;
- to provide open access to institutional research output by self-archiving it;
- to store and preserve other institutional digital assets, including unpublished or otherwise easily lost ("grey") literature (e.g., theses or technical reports), special collections and marketing communications materials.
The TU Delft Institutional Repository includes:
- http://repository.tudelft.nl/ -- student thesis (MSc/BSC), dissertations, documents
- http://repository.tudelft.nl/MMP -- multimedia materials
- http://ocw.tudelft.nl/ -- educational materials
- http://itunesu.tudelft.nl -- lectures on iTunes U
- http://datacentrum.3tu.nl/ -- academic datasets
