Hello Colleagues, We are looking for digital repositories that are OAI-PMH compliant for harvesting into the Michigan eLibrary. We designated for harvesting the projects that were grant funded and added to MeL Michigana (http://mel.org/michigana), but not all of them are OAI-PMH compliant so they are not harvestable per our current contract. This is why we now have additional capacity to continue with other OAI-PMH compliant content. We have posted a collection development strategy online at http://mel.org/index.php?P=MeL--AboutMeL that you can review to get an idea of what content we seek for MeL. If you have a repository that you think is a good statewide resource and it is OAI-PMH compliant, please complete the attached spreadsheet and return it to me off list. I can receive your information at any time you are ready to offer up your resource for MeL, however I am looking for up to ten to add to our current harvesting contract, so the sooner you get me information, the more likely it can be included in the initial wave.
