...Scholar Google are working with the National Library of Australia
to test OAI harvesting from the government-funded ARROW Discovery
Service
http://arrow-test.nla.gov.au/

...ARROW is still in development mode. Marking OAI-retrieved articles
with an asterisk should be a cinch, or a separate service (less useful).
Public comment, since posted to ozeprints. ADT=Australian Digital Theses
(not OAI compliant), NLA=National Library of Australia.

> We have also started harvesting records from institutional repositories,
> some of which describe ADT theses, as part of the ARROW project.
> However, our harvester can be adapted to harvest from any OAI-compliant
> repository.

> We hope to be able to add all ADT records through the same harvesting

> Google as we have for own content. This should be more efficient than
