http://www.alia.org.au/incite/2002/10/eprints.html Colin Steele, E-prints: the future of scholarly communication? inCite, October 2002. "Will 2002 be seen as the watershed year when the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) really took off and began to have an impact on global scholarly communication? The OAI develops and promotes interoperability standards that aim to facilitate the efficient dissemination of content. The Eprints.org free software is OAI compliant and enables institutional archiving with appropriate harvesting." Steele's survey of eprint archiving progress is especially strong on recent developments in Australia.
