The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Open Archives Initiative Metadata Harvesting Project (Open Archives Initiative Information in Engineering, Computer Science, and Physics) The Library of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) has created and implemented a suite of Open Archives Initiative (OAI)-based metadata harvesting services, search services, and tools designed to facilitate discovery and retrieval of certain classes of scholarly works, thereby making visible portions of the currently "hidden" Web of scholarly information resources. This work is complementary with and carried on in concert with a related project conducted by the University of Michigan Digital Library Extension Service. The OAI Metadata Harvesting Project at Illinois focused on creating a deep, domain-specific portal designed to search metadata describing selected manuscript archives and digitized cultural heritage information resources. Software developed by this project has been made available under an Open Source Initiative license. This is one of seven metadata harvesting projects funded by the Andrew Mellon Foundation. final report is available. http://oai.grainger.uiuc.edu/ Regards, S.Sripriya ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
