[OAI-implementers] Digital Commons sites and Static Repository registration

[Roy Tennant]

The "Digital Commons" product from ProQuest is of course the  
bepress.com system, which has powered the eScholarship Repository  
<http://repositories.cdlib.org/escholarship/> for nearly three years.  
The California Digital Library, in fact, worked with bepress to develop  
a number of the features that now grace the product, including OAI  
support. As far as I know, it remains the only repository system with a  
full-featured online peer review system as an integrated part of the  
product.

On a side note, the eScholarship Repository recently passed the  
milestone of one million paper downloads (not web page views), and only  
this week announced a new "postprints" service that enables University  
of California faculty to upload a selected set of their published  
articles with a few clicks of the mouse button. Long live institutional  
repositories!
