Geographic reach beyond U.S. Computer Sci. Repts. – 104 countries = 57% of total
use CAV2001 Conf. – 120 countries = 68% of total use Earthquake Eng. Repts. – 103 countries = 65% of
total use Books – 95 countries = 63% of total use Oral Histories – 72 countries = 34% of total use
ALL – 140 countries = 63% of total use
Conclusions Over time downloads appear to be less
random; use patterns indicate more directed retrieval of specific documents
Even small archives will be discovered and used throughout the world, thanks to OAI
Type or genre of material is not as significant as subject
There is significant penetration into the international community
Why Theses?
Clear administrative purpose Library is unquestioned archive Process is regular and continuing Volume is predictable Authors are new entrants to scholarly
enterprise
