Abstract This study, funded by KERIS (The Korean Education and Research Information Service) aims at building an evaluation model for diagnosing and solving problems of the “dCollection” consortium, composed of institutional repositories at more than 40 universities. The evaluation model, as tools not only for a member library's self‐evaluation of its own system but also for assessment of the dCollection systems as a whole, is set up in two steps: First, based upon literature review from digital library evaluation and institutional repositories, and case studies on university repositories, the conceptual framework was composed of four categories: content; system and network; uses, users and submitters; and management and policy. And, second, the evaluation framework was modified through three methods, such as a Delphi method, an expert forum and a simulation test, leading to the evaluation model with 4 categories and 34 indicators.
