Repository66.org Map Blog

The repository map mashup now has over 400 repositories shown, which between them hold over 4 million items! Because of the number of repositories, the icons used to display them have had to be shrunk to fit them all on!

The traffic to the site continues to grow, as do the number of links to the site:

1. The University of ‘Lyon 2′ has written an article about the maps entitled ‘Lyon 2 est sur la carte‘ (Lyon 2 is on the map). An English translation is available.
2. OpenDOAR have now officially launched their API, and use the repository map mashup as an example of the API in use.
3. In a Japanese-language ‘Current Awareness Portal‘ there is a blog entry about the maps.
4. Peter Suber’s ‘Open Access News‘ blog once again mentions the maps, and the interface available for users to position, or re-position their repositories.
5. http://openaccess.uib.no/ mentions the maps as ‘Ny oversikt over publiseringsarkiv’ (New overview of publications archive).
6. http://www.librariansworld.com/ includes a page about the maps.
