Newcastle University eTheses OAI-PMH Endpoint

An OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata harvesting interface over Newcastle University's electronic theses repository, running on DSpace 6.3. Supports oai_dc, dim and the uketd_dc profile used by the UK Electronic Theses Online Service, with records back to 2008-09-18. This is the institution's only working OAI-PMH endpoint — the interface previously catalogued at eprints.ncl.ac.uk does not exist.
