Apologies for cross-posting.

SHERPA is pleased to announce the addition of a Google Maps extension to
OpenDOAR, its directory of open access repositories
(http://www.opendoar.org/find). Just run any search of the directory,
and then change the output format from "Summaries" to "Google Map".

Here are a few examples:

1.  http://www.opendoar.org/find?format=gmap&cID=jp
   - Repositories in Japan

2.  http://www.opendoar.org/find?format=gmap&lID=sp
   - Repositories with Spanish language material

3.  http://www.opendoar.org/find?format=gmap&cID=us&ctID=6
   - United States repositories holding theses & dissertations

4.  http://www.opendoar.org/find?format=gmap&search=Nottingham
   - Keyword search for "Nottingham"

5.  http://www.opendoar.org/find?format=gmap&rSoftWareName=CONTENTdm
   - Repositories using CONTENTdm software

If you click on one of the place markers, a bubble will pop up listing
the repositories at that location with links to the repositories
themselves and their institutions' home pages. For performance reasons,
the amount of information in the bubbles is limited, but bearing this in
mind, we would be like to know what data you would like to see there.

In adding the geographical coordinates, we have generally tried to pin
repositories down to the street addresses of their institutions.
However, in some cases we have only been able determine general
coordinates for the home city. We would therefore be grateful if
repository administrators could check the coordinates for their
repositories - visible in the "Full records" layout. If necessary,
please send us changes via the usual "Suggest an update" form.

This development was inspired by Stuart Lewis's Repository66
demonstrator (http://www.repository66.org), which mashes up OpenDOAR and
ROAR data.

We encourage you to explore the new facility. All feedback will be
gratefully received.
