Abstract

Research is part of the fundamental responsibilities needed in an academic institution. Therefore, it is expected that tertiary institutions should take importance in capturing, maintaining, and preserving their student's and staff's intellectual output; It will serve a significant role in disseminating scholarly materials, preserving, and diffusing the institution's research work. Hence, the research developed an institutional repository for academic research work for the Department of Computer Science, Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA). The design made use of HTML (Hypertext mark-up language), CSS (Cascading style sheet), JAVASCRIPT, PHP (Hypertext pre-processor), and MySQL database. The system requirement for the design includes a processor (CPU) with 2.16 gigahertz (GHz), 4GB of RAM, Monitor Resolution 1024 X 768 or higher, a minimum of 20 GB available space on the hard disk, Intel Pentium processor, Keyboard, 64-bit operating system, and a Window 10 operating system. This design is expected to benefit the students and other users regarding the accessibility of materials to users and preserving student research. It will help create global visibility for the research works and collect content in a single location. However, the invention is limited to the sample size. Therefore, it recommends that a more advanced repository system be developed with time, which will capture studies across all faculties in the institution or across various institutions in the country.
