Abstract
Various strategies have been developed to ensure the success of the critical and challenging process
of recruiting content for institutional repositories. This article presents an in-depth exploration of
content recruitment strategies used by three Malaysian higher learning institutions in their
institutional repositories. Through interviews with nine repository librarians, the study investigates
the various methods used to acquire content, including mediated deposit, self-archiving, andpromotion activities. The study reveals that setting up content deposit as a quality objective and key
performance indicator (KPI) is a new and effective strategy used among the three case studies. The
findings provide valuable insights into the approaches taken by these institutions to recruit content
and offer practical guidelines for academic librarians in general. This study contributes to the
growing body of knowledge on institutional repository management, highlighting the importance of
implementing effective content recruitment strategies to ensure the success and sustainability of
these repositories
