Abstract: Institutional repositories include a technological and service infrastructure that aims to publication, access, use and store information. These repositories handle intellectual production of a given institution, and are directly connected with higher education institutions. However, their technological environment is fragile, and exposes the formats and supports to obsolescence. Therefore, digital preservation, as a set of processes aimed at ensuring the safety and long-term access to this production, gain fundamental importance. “Rede Cariniana”, the Brazilian network of preservation services managed by IBICT, is committed to solve this problem. The network uses the model of distributed digital preservation, operationalized through the LOCKSS software. With the goal of supporting a cooperation agreement between the UFRN and IBICT, this study proposes a set of minimum requirements, directed to the UFRN and its institutional repository, to tailor the repository to “Rede Cariniana”, enabling the preservation and long-term access to the intellectual production of UFRN. The requirements concern mainly the preparation of documents, so that they are deposited properly in the repository and subsequently incorporated into “Rede Cariniana”. The proposed set of requirements is aimed at supporting the working agreement and treat the digital preservation of UFRN intellectual production in the short term, enabling the institution to build, in a medium and long term, a more ambitious digital preservation plan, or a certification plan for its repository.
