We are not using OAI-PMH.

I don't have the field list with me.. It has been changing as we work with the engines to determine the best way to drive appropriate features.  Essentially the OWC displayed fields plus key fields to promote ranking and retrieval.

Since you mentioned "exposure".... can you say whether you are using the
OAI-PMH protocols and metadata to "expose" the OCLC records to Yahoo and
Google? And can you say what metadata is being delivered to them?
Inquiring minds....
