    "What is self-archiving?

    To self-archive is to deposit a digital document in a publicly accessible
    website, preferably an OAI-compliant Eprint Archive. Depositing involves a
    simple web interface where the depositer copy/pastes in the "metadata"
    (date, author-name, title, journal-name, etc.) and then attaches the
    full-text document. Software is also being developed to allow documents to
    be self-archived in bulk, rather than just one by one.


    What is the Open Archives Initiative (OAI)?

    The Open Archives Initiative (OAI) has designed a shared code for metadata
    tags (e.g., "date," "author," "title," "journal" etc.). See the OAI FAQ.
    The full-text documents may be in different formats and locations, but if
    they use the same metadata tags they become "interoperable." Their
    metadata can be "harvested " and all the documents can then be jointly
    searched and retrieved as if they were all in one global collection,
    accessible to everyone.

    What is OAI-compliance?

    OAI-compliance means using the OAI metadata tags. A document can be
    OAI-compliant and an Eprint archive can be OAI-compliant. All
    OAI-compliant documents in OAI-compliant archives are interoperable. This
    means distributed documents can be treated as if they were all in one
    place and one format.

    What is an Eprint Archive?

    An Eprint Archive is a collection of digital documents. OAI-compliant
    Eprint Archives share the same metadata, making their contents
    interoperable with one another. Their metadata can then be harvested into
    global "virtual" archives that are seamlessly navigable by any user (just
    as a commercial index or abstract database is navigable, but with
    full-text access)."

    ===========================================

    Much can be learned about the Open Archives movement and E-Print archives
    from the archives of the LIBLICENSE-L discussion group.

    ====================================

    The bottom line for the student, learner, researcher or person who reads
    heavily is that many research articles from a very wide range of fields
    will be openly available at no cost to the reader as a result of eprints
    archived as part of the open access movement.
