Ofrece acceo abierto a libros, documentos técnicos y de trabajo; artículos, tesis, registros de audio y vídeo, informes de investigación, entre otros El nombre del repositorio se inspira en la analogía entre el acervo de conocimiento institucional y kérwá, un concepto cultural del cabécar para nombrar al conjunto de piedras que el jawá (médico indígena) emplea en ceremonias para encontrar respuesta a sus preguntas. "Nosotros tenemos unas piedritas que les llamamos [kérwá]. Esta piedrita se la damos al alumno, a él lo mandamos, que vaya a hablar con esta piedrita, para ver si esta piedrita habla o no con él (Bozzoli de Wille, 1982:19) Como las piedras de un río, cada una representa el conocimiento ancestral de los indígenas cabécares, al igual que los aportes de la comunidad universitaria. Esperamos que, sacando algunas de estas piedras a la luz, quien lo desee pueda encontrar la piedrita que le susurre el conocimiento necesitado Autores y unidades de la Universidad de Costa Rica pueden depositar aquí su producción y colocarla a disposición del público en general

South African Data Archive
The South African Data Archive (SADA) serves as a broker between a range of data providers (e.g. statistical agencies, government departments, opinion and market research companies and academic institutions) and the research community. The archive does not only preserve data for future use, but also adds value to the collections. It safeguards datasets and related documentation and attempts to make it as easily accessible as possible for research and educational purposes. SADA's data holdings are from a wide range of areas, such as Censuses and household surveys, Omnibus and international studies, Demographic and health related studies, Substance abuse, Crime, Income and poverty, Inter-group relations, Labour and business, Education and training, and Political perceptions and attitudes. The expansion to other sciences and the anticipated establishment of virtual archives will increase the benefits to the research community. SADA also hopes to reflect the government's core priority themes in its holdings, for e.g. HIV/AIDS studies.
