機構典藏因涉及著作之重製與公開傳輸，又與其相關成員對外投稿或出版有關，著作權議題乃成為機構典藏執行人員及作者共同的疑慮。本文首先由著作權法角度觀察，認為機構典藏與著作權法同以促進國家文化發展為目標，法制上應存在合理的解決途徑；次再針對機構典藏所涉機構、成員、出版單位間之著作權歸屬，以及能否透過合理使用解決機構典藏相關著作利用進行法律分析，並嘗試就前開分析結果提出解決方案，以供機構典藏執行單位作為參考。

The work of an institutional information repository involves the reproduction and promulgation of academic work for public use. It also invariably involves submitting or publishing materials to or in conjunction with a publisher, necessitating executive members and authors having to negotiate any arising copyright issues. From the point view of copyright law, an Institutional repository is charged with promoting the development of national culture, and therefore there should be a reasonable way for solving copyright issues. This paper focuses on the legal analysis of academic product copyright ownership and if the fair use system could be adopted as the legal basis for an Institutional repository. Based on the above analysis, this paper tries to provide some solutions for Institutional repositories to be recategorized as reference resources.
