CDL: Awareness of OA repositories?

Dear Colldv-l-

I would be interested to learn if and how other libraries are making 
users aware of fulltext open access repositories such as Internet 
Archive, HathiTrust, etc. Is anyone making any effort to integrate the 
resources available on these sites with the library's online catalog or 
is this a futile exercise?

I would be happy to learn from others' experience.
