Phil,
Are you surprised to learn that Google's reason to no longer support OAI
harvesting is that "the information we gain from our support of OAI-PMH
is disproportional to the amount of resources required to support it"?
I wonder what the amount of resources invested by our institutions to
harvest & normalize IR metadata via OAI is.
Sitemaps was one of the few ones if not the last Google product to be
offering OAI support.
