Pergamos: Unified Institutional Repository / Digital Library Platform of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens

"Pergamos" (named after the homonymous ancient Greek city of Asia Minor), is the Unified Institutional Repository / Digital Library Platform (UIRDLP) of the National & Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA). For simplicity reasons, hereafter, Pergamos will be also referred to as Institutional Repository (IR). The current version of "Pergamos" was developed under Subproject 1: "Development of an Open Access Institutional Repository / Digital Library" of the Act entitled "Development of a unified Digital Repository Platform and related electronic information services for the Library of NKUA" (MIS code: 304160), of the Digital Convergence Operational Program. The Pergamos platform includes or may include the following material types: Digital Educational and Cultural Value Collections for the Academic Community Graduate and Diploma Theses, Doctoral Dissertations Rare digitized material that belongs to the Library & Information Center (LIC) or other organizational units of NKUA (e.g. old periodicals, books, honorary articles, proceedings of NKUA conferences, etc.) Archives and private archive collections Training material for students with disabilities Scientific publications and other research material The purpose of "Pergamoς" is twofold: on the one hand it is used for the preservation, documentation and promotion of heterogeneous digital collections owned by the University of Athens and on the other it provides the necessary "space" for the systematic collection, organization, management and display of the material produced by the scientific and intellectual activities of the academic community of the NKUA. The aforementioned collections, which are constantly updated by the LIC and other units, are primarily aimed at the academic community of the NKUA, but at the same time to other members of the Greek and international scientific, academic and research community by providing open access to the majority of their content. The thematic content is quite broad and relevant to all the disciplines of the NKUA Schools.
