Information is the most important intangible asset that has administrative management. The article focuses on the implementation of a repository of administrative digital documents. The method followed for its development, implementation and validation in a university context is described, which consists of four phases. Particularly, Phase 3 deals with the construction of the open access administrative repository to capture, manage, save and preserve digital documents, it was selected as a computer tool and Business Content Manager, in this case Nuxeo. The results of the implementation allowed the General Directorate of Settlement of Assets of the Universidad Nacional del Nordeste to manage the information produced and speed up the automation of reception of the news necessary for the settlements of assets. This repository is an effective tool for information management, providing the university with a comprehensive solution for the management, processing and safeguarding of digital documents, speeding up the search and retrieval of information. The achievements suggest the improvement of intermediate ICT procedures and constitute a contribution to the area of digital repositories in administrative contexts [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper describes content syndication and its applications for libraries, information centres and publishers, and highlights it as a new opportunity considering the scant developments in this field. Further, it explains how syndication, as applied to Temaria, a portal of Spanish journals on library and information science, makes it easier to track an author or to keep up–to–date on specific subjects, amongst other possibilities.

Institutional repositories have become an important means of publishing, disseminating, and preserving the digital information of organisations. The majority of them run on open software tools. Institutional repository projects are being carried out following an evaluation of the software's features. Nevertheless, the evaluations to date have been comparative, focussing on the features offered by each tool, rather than on other factors. In order to overcome this limitation, this work analyses the different published models for evaluating institutional repository software, studies the approach adopted in each case, and proposes a model. This model is oriented toward the study and definition of informational–documental processes, the users, the characteristics of the collections, and the context of the project in which it is framed.
