Institutional repositories have been established as a good practice for quite some time. The European Commission requires archiving of research articles in institutional repositories in order to grant international project funding. Therefore, the interest in institutional repositories should increase in Slovenia as well. In 2011 the institutional repository DRUGG was built at the Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering of the University of Ljubljana. By the end of 2012 more than 1400 scholarly publications (B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. theses) and nearly 150 research articles were archived in it. The repository DRUGG provides open access to scholarly publications and increases the visibility of the Faculty's scientific publications. Building a repository is a complex project, in which the whole institution has to be involved. Library offers all technical support to the authors by archiving publications to the repository. Thus, the importance and the reputation of the library have increased, since it brings a significant added value to the quality of all activities at the faculty. The statistics of repository visits and downloads confirms its importance in Slovenia and abroad.
