[WEB4LIB] OA-PMH journals

[Eric Hellman]

The math and statistics journals at Project 
Euclid distribute metadata with OAI-PMH, and a 
few of the Project Euclid titles are either 
Open-Access or partly Open-Access.

Openly produces an Open-Access title for the 
Materials Research Society; the decision not to 
do OAI-PMH was partly because of a perception 
that Google did such a good job indexing the 
journal that an OAI interface would add very 
little. There is no solution in sight for the 
metadata quality problem that Eric Morgan 
mentioned.
