More than 600 different sizes

Several things have happensed with the repository map mashup recently: the maps now shows more than 600 repositories of the 898 listed in ROAR (at 2nd June 2007), and a new ‘repository size icons’ option has been introduced.

There are now 67.14 percent of the known repositories marked on the map. If your repository is not yet shown on the map, please register it with ROAR and OpenDOAR if it has not been already, and please use the locator facility to place it correctly on the maps. We’d love 100 percent coverage!

The ‘repository size icons’  option allows you to see the relative size of different repositories. Plotted using logarithmic scales, you can now find not just the geographical spread of repositories, but also the distribution of repository sizes across different locations.
