Abstract:
This study aims to identify digital repositories and their relationship with modern strategic planning for the smart infrastructure of universities: a field study applied to the University of Palestine, where the researchers used the descriptive and analytical approach, through a questionnaire distributed to a sample of employees at the University of Palestine, where the size of the study population (234) employees and the sample size is (117) employees, of whom (90) employees responded. Where the study provided a theoretical framework for what the authors and researchers presented about the study variables, as well as a practical analytical framework for the opinions of employees at the University of Palestine, and the digital repositories were expressed as an independent variable through its four indicators (storing scientific research, classifying scientific research, creating an electronic portfolio for research, scientific, receiving and updating scientific research), while the dependent variable was expressed in the modern strategic planning of smart infrastructure. The study reached a set of results, the most important of which are: The existence of a good degree of satisfaction with digital repositories at the University of Palestine with a relative weight (72.13%). The dimensions of the digital repositories were arranged as follows (receiving and updating scientific research, classifying scientific research, storing scientific research, creating an electronic portfolio for scientific research). The results also showed a high level of satisfaction with the modern strategic planning of infrastructure at the University of Palestine, where the percentage reached (70.48%). And the existence of a statistically significant positive relationship between digital warehouses and modern strategic planning for infrastructure at the University of Palestine, and the results also showed that there are no statistically significant differences in digital repositories and their relationship to modern strategic planning for the infrastructure according to demographic variables. The study presented a set of recommendations, the most important of which are: The need for universities to strengthen the digital repositories at the university and urge academics to include their scientific contributions in the digital repository for research. And work to enhance the practice of modern strategic planning for smart infrastructure at the university.
