One basket or many?

	Federated searches across many collections
	Harvesting collections (OAI) or even the desktop
	Combining content from local and remote collections
	Integrating content into CMS

So, whose basket?  Depends…

	Ownership and control
	Human and  capital resources
	Goals and scope
		Institutional, personal, emeriti collections
		For teaching, research, showcasing scholarship (recruitment)
		Private asset management, media catalogs for public affairs
		Archiving and preservation goals
	And what is your definition of an institutional repository?
		Everything in one basket?
