The U.S. National Archives and Records Administraton (NARA) has launched a tool for cross-archive searching, Access to Archival Databases (AAD). AAD can search across 50 million online records created by more than 20 federal agencies. (Thanks to LIS News.) (PS: If the relevant archives were OAI-compliant, then users could choose from an array of cross-archive search engines and expect future improvement as tools compete to deliver services for this commonly structured network of content.)

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
