Overview

The goal of nzresearch.org.nz is to connect research users from around the world to research documents produced in New Zealand institutions.

The nzresearch.org.nz harvester gathers information about documents stored in research repositories from around New Zealand, and assembles them in one database. The original documents are all held at the originating institutions, this website only stores information like the title, authors, URL, and subject. Once the metadata is harvested, the real work of nzresearch.org.nz begins: pushing the metadata out into the wider research community through RSS feeds, OAI-PMH re-export, SRU searches, and other novel channels.
