These factors include a lack of published literature on the topic originating from the region [1], the majority of academics in the Arab world having little knowledge of or experience with institutional repositories [2], and the lack of a coherent long-term repository preservation strategy among regional institutions [3]. These principles would be further refined in the Trustworthy Repositories Audit & Certification: Criteria and Checklist (TRAC), developed and used by the Center for Research Libraries in auditing and certification of digital repositories, specifically sections A2 (Organizational structure & staffing), A3 (Procedural accountability & policy framework), B1 (Ingest), B3 and B4 (Preservation planning), and B5 (Information management) [6].	./cache/work_44kn7hdxhncdvm4v5256ioie3q.htm	./txt/work_44kn7hdxhncdvm4v5256ioie3q.txt
