DARE launched

On January 27 the DARE network of OAI compatible institutional repositories has been launched. Before a large audience of highly ranked representatives of Dutch universities these repositories, all up and running, were harvested with a harvester specially built for this purpose. The harvester will be further developed to become a national portal to the on line available scholarly literature in the Netherlandss and will remain on line. Come and visit http://demonstrator.itor.org. The harvester has a number of features. One of these features is access to a large number of the full texts from the harvester site itself.
