Hi All,
COPAC has an SRW/SRU interface: http://copac.ac.uk/interfaces/srw/ as well as Z39.50.
You can use the IESR web search interface to search for a specific service protocol - use the drop down list on the search screen via the link 'Search the IESR' at http://iesr.ac.uk/registry/ . However there are currently no SRW/SRU services listed, but there are some Z39.50 ones.
I'm not sure what constitutes a 'repository'. IESR doesn't currently include any institutional repositories. We'd be very interested in contributions of descriptions of repositories (in any sense of the word). Please contact the helpline [log in to unmask] or use the form at http://iesr.ac.uk/beincluded/ if you're interested.
Forgive my ignorance - what is DR OSID? Is it a service protocol / access method that we should be recording in IESR?
Best wishes,
Ann
