Here's a very ignorant question:

When we upgraded to 3.2, OAI-PHM was turned on. What does this mean for our 
site? Does this open us up even more than we already are to web search engines 
or discovery tools? How do applications discover and harvest our collections?

I ask because we have a large collection that needs to be kept "quietly" 
public. The read level is anonymous on the items and bitstreams in the 
collection, but we include the noindex|nofollow|noarchive directives to the 
various robots. This actually provides just the level of invisibility we want. 
Those who know we have the collection are free to search it, but it adds a 
little privacy to what are otherwise public yet still sensitive legal documents.

I understand there is no way to indicate that a particular collection should 
not be harvested even though it is anonymous.
