[Forwarded from OAIster mailing to authors at the 268 institutions whose OAI Archive metadata are harvested by OAIster -- and now also Yahoo]
As you may or may not be aware, OAIster has partnered with Yahoo! to provide its metadata from Yahoo! Search. Since your records are a part of OAIster, they are now included in Yahoo! Search. You can try this out by going to http://www.yahoo.com/ and typing a query in the search box at the top of the page. Naturally, we're pleased to be able to more widely disseminate academic content. We'd be very interested in hearing if your statistics have shown a change between February and March of this year (the service went live at the beginning of March). See our official press release at http://www.umich.edu/news/index.html?Releases/2004/Mar04/r031004 . If you have any questions, please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you. ------------------- Kat Hagedorn OAIster/Metadata Harvesting Librarian DLXS Bibliographic Class Coordinator DLXS Text Class Co-coordinator Digital Library Production Service University of Michigan http://www.oaister.org/ http://www.dlxs.org/ email: [email protected] phone: 734-615-7618
