OAIster
<http://www.oaister.org/>
OAIster is a union catalog of digital resources.
We provide access to these digital resources by
"harvesting" their descriptive metadata (records)
using OAI-PMH (the Open Archives Initiative
Protocol for Metadata Harvesting).
OAIster can be searched by Title, Author/Creator,
Subject, Language or Entire Record. Searches can
also be limited by resource type (text, image, audio,
video, dataset) and sorted by title, author, date and
hit frequency. Results allow further limiting by data
contributor (i.e., where the record was harvested from).
