ABSTRACT
Higher Education (HE) is one of the organizations interested in using Knowledge Management (KM) for managing its abundant intellectual assets, particularly when it faces many national and international challenges. Knowledge Management implementation is almost unheard of in Indonesian universities. Some Higher Education institutions, however, have eventually made KM initiatives by developing Institutional Repository (IR). Most of IRs are part of academic digital library infrastucture, offering their resources for public audiences known as Open Access Institutional Repository (OAIR). The main reason for developing OAIR in Higher Education is to assist the university or research institution in capturing its own scholarship produced as a whole and in sharing knowledge. This paper focuses on conceptual model of OAIR in order to enrich knowledge content and enhance global access.
