Hi Heather,
I just want to add to your mail that BASE (www.base-search.net) just exceeded
1,400 repositories, which means, that Bielefeld Academic Search Engine is now
the biggest OA Search Engine regarding the number of repositories.
This is a 36% increase in 2009 and a roundabout 46% increase regarding the
number of documents in BASE.
That's dramatic, isn't it?
Best regards
Dirk
