OAIster
OAIster is a Mellon-funded project of the University of Michigan Digital Library Production Services. Our goal is to create a wide-ranging collection of free, useful, previously difficult-to-access digital resources that are easily searchable by anyone. OAIster has harvested a large number of records from a variety of institutions -- 274046 records from 55 institutions -- that have made these records available using the OAI protocol. Each of these records leads to an actual digital resource hosted at an institution.
