<small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Dear all,<br>
<br>
the “La Pérouse” library has just released Avano (<a
href="http://www.ifremer.fr/avano/">http://www.ifremer.fr/avano/</a>), an
OAI harvester for the marine and aquatic sciences. It offers an access to
electronic resources about aquaculture and fisheries for instance, but also
marine biology, marine geosciences,...).<br>
<br>
What’s original in this harvester is that we developed a system that allow
to detect notices about marine and aquatic resources loaded in non-specialized
marine repositories such as ArXiv or PubmedCentral. This system is based on
the detection of marine and aquatic terms such as <i>oceanography </i>or
<i>phytoplankton </i>for example. <br>
<br>
With this system, Avano is already able to offer an access to about 24 000
notices that comes from more than 30 repositories. And we will load more repositories
and more notices in the coming weeks.<br>
<br>
We would be pleased if you could share your comments about this project.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Fred Merceur</font></small><br>
