<p class=MsoNormal>On behalf of OCLC, I’d like to provide some
clarification on the OAIster discussions that have been happening
lately. Please see Roy Tennant’s recent post:<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2><a href="http://hangingtogether.org/?p=739"
title="Permanent Link: Clarification on OCLC/OAIster Transfer">Clarification on
OCLC/OAIster Transfer</a><o:p></o:p></h2>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>September 23rd, 2009 by Roy</span>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Earlier in
the week I posted <a href="http://hangingtogether.org/?p=738">“The
Straight Dope on OAIster”</a> in an effort to bring the OAI community up
to date on the transition of this service from the University of Michigan to
OCLC, and our intentions for it going forward. A comment on that post, as well
as chatter via Twitter and on some mailing lists has prompted us to clarify the
terms and conditions to make it absolutely clear that <em><span
style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>they only apply to the harvested
metadata.</span></em></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><em><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>It was
never our intent to harvest anything other than metadata.</span></em><span
style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> Unfortunately, the
terminology used in the OAIster terms and conditions did not accurately state
the rights that OCLC needs to make the OAIster data available. As a
result, the OAIster terms and conditions have been corrected and are being
re-sent to OAIster data providers.</span> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We are sorry for causing a misunderstanding. Our intent has always been to
simply transition the good work of the University of Michigan to our
infrastructure and support. We will strive to be more accurate and clear in the
future so as not to distract us all from the important work of maintaining and
expanding access to open access content. <o:p></o:p></p>
