I think an institutional repository is a type of digital library.

In general, an institutional repository is characterized as content  
written/created by members of the hosting organization. This is  
contrasted with collections of digital content -- a digital library --  
that might have a similar format, theme, or some other facet that is  
not specifically identified with the institution.

But I must admit, the genre is not definitive.
