University of California, Berkeley

eScholarship Repository and OAI-PMH (California Digital Library tenant)

eScholarship is the University of California's open-access publishing platform and institutional repository, operated system-wide by the California Digital Library, not by the Berkeley campus. Its OAI-PMH interface is live and was confirmed with verb=Identify (repositoryIdentifier escholarship.org, adminEmail help@escholarship.org). ListSets returns a single set, "everything" -- there is no Berkeley-scoped OAI set, which is precisely why this cannot be attributed to Berkeley as its own contract. Berkeley scholarship is deposited into it and surfaced under the unit path /uc/ucb. Recorded as a tenant relationship on a sibling UC service.
