Abstract :
The NASA Technical Report Server (NTRS) is an Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) compliant aggregator. Using primarily OAI-PMH, it harvests metadata records from 17 repositories. We examine which NTRS repositories have received the most downloads during 15 months of operation. In particular, we explore the collection development policy of including non-NASA scientific, technology and medicine (STM) repositories. We found that three of the four non-NASA repositories included in NTRS contributed little to the overall download totals
