Polytechniques under the Directorate of Technical Education. The repository was established in 2010 to facilitate the deposit of digital content of a scholarly nature created by the faculty, staff and students under the Directorate of Technical Education or group of institutions accessible to end users both within and outside the institution. This is intended to be shared amongst the departments as well as to preserve the valuable contents in a managed way. The knowledge base of the Directorate of Technical Education named "kbase" is an e-learning management system as well as an Institutional Repository which is an online locus for collecting, preserving, and disseminating, in digital form, the intellectual output of its various institutions. Kbase includes materials such as research journal articles, before (preprints) and after (postprints) undergoing peer review, and digital versions of theses and dissertations, but it might also include other digital assets generated by normal academic life, such as administrative documents, course notes, or learning objects. The main objectives for having kbase are: * to create global visibility for an institution's scholarly research; * to collect content in a single location; * to provide open access to institutional research output by self-archiving it; * to store and preserve other institutional digital assets, including unpublished or otherwise easily lost literature (e.g., theses or technical reports)
