  • This paper presents the results of a survey at the Universidad Nacional de Rosario, in Argentina, to know the opinions about, and use of, Open Access (OA) by professors and researchers at the university, and their needs in relation to the use of the university Institutional Repository (IR). It is based on 783 replies to a survey implemented in 2012. The results of this survey show that 80% of professors and researchers at UNR, in all subject areas, agree with the OA dissemination of outputs in all academic areas. However, only 13% of professors and researchers use the IR for dissemination of its own scholarly output, mainly due to ignorance of its existence. The most frequent uses for dissemination in OA are open access journals, websites of the faculties and research centers or groups, as well as personal websites. What motivates professors and researchers to disseminate their work in the IR, is the use of it by their fellow professors/researchers, students and the general public. Moreover, they value from the IR the advance search facilities tailored to their needs and user profile, and the availability of usage statistics of their work.
