</big></font></big> <br>
since last week, BASE<a href="http://www.base-search.net/">
(www.base-search.net)</a> allows searching for 90 million
documents. The metadata are provided by 4.200 repositories, <br>
which means that BASE is the second largest academic search engine
behind Google Scholar.<br>
<br>
For more than 30 million documents BASE can indicate Open Access
relying on metadata information provided by repositories. We
estimate <br>
the overall OA percentage about 60%, OA documents will be boosted in
the result lists.<br>
<br>
Several interfaces provide access to the BASE index for commercial
and non-commercial discovery-systems, other search engines, special
libraries <br>
and others for reuse or new developments. BASE is therefore
strengthening the visibility of content provided by repositories. <br>
