Subject: More than 25 million records in BASE
To: JISC-REPOSITORIES_at_jiscmail.ac.uk
Dear all,
we are proud to announce that BASE (Bielefeld Academic Search Engine) has
crossed another hurdle and includes now more than 25 million records from more
than 1.720 repositories worldwide.
We added about 3 million records this year or about 14.200 records per day,
the number of repositories increased in 2010 about 22 % until now. From our
point of view it is remarkable, that more and more journals deliver content
via OAI-PMH (especially journals using OJS), which is another evidence for the
growing importance of open access in scholary communication.

Kind regards
Dirk
