ABSTRACT
In the tables below, the number of thematic or non-institutional research repositories set up in the last years and the content of these repositories (total numbers and 2007 snapshot) are presented. From these tables, the following can be concluded:
Throughout Europe, each year a handful of these thematic research repositories are being set-up;
These repositories contain similar material types as the institutional repositories: mainly textual materials;
In terms of numbers, the thematic or non-institutional repositories covered by this survey are rather small in comparison with the institutional repositories: the thematic repositories cover typically approximately 3.800 records compared to the 8.500 records of a typical institutional repository.
