Dear all,
Bielefeld Academic Search Engine (www.base-search.net) will stay free and
independent. Our API can be used to integrate harvested and normalized content
into other search services, maybe we should think about an OAI interface to
the BASE index.
I still wonder, why there is no discussion about the "OCLC OAIster Terms and
Conditions":
https://www3.oclc.org/app/oaister/oaister_terms.htm
We also provide a lot of content via our repositories and from my point of
view, OCLC is asking for more than necessary.
