Repository success can be illustrated in a number of different ways, including (but not limited to), charts of upload and download growth over time, maps illustrating a worldwide audience, and anecdotes from excited new participants. Sharing both qualitative and quantitative IR success can engage new audiences and existing stakeholders alike, as well as map future repository growth and highlight the ways the library supports various campus missions.
