CDL- Awareness of OA repositories? (Response)

I work at the State Library of New South Wales. We provide links to a 
number of open access repositories via our electronic resources page. 
Here's a link to the e-resources page:

http://www2.sl.nsw.gov.au/eresources/

Click Browse Databases, then the Browse button, then Find Database and 
type in the one you're after. Above the search box you'll see the page 
indicates whether the resources are available publicly, such as the 
Hathi Trust etc, or in the library, or with a library card.

Here's a link to our homepage too, in case you want to try searching our 
catalogue: http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Jan Harkin

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.
