UCSB on eScholarship

UCSB’s open-access scholarship collection inside eScholarship, the University of California’s systemwide repository operated by the California Digital Library. It IS OAI-PMH harvestable (https://escholarship.org/oai?verb=Identify returns 200, probed 2026-08-30), but the endpoint is CDL’s and serves every UC campus, so the oai-pmh conformance is NOT credited to UCSB. TENANT — UCSB’s content on another operator’s platform.

x-audit-note: 'A cohort-derived host verdict reads escholarship.org as "vendor" because several UC campuses
  claim it. That is correct about the HOST and is exactly why no eScholarship contract is saved under
  this slug. The entry is retained at x-operator: tenant because the relationship itself is a real institutional
  fact — UCSB''s open-access collection lives there — and the pipeline is explicit that a tenant relationship
  must be re-labelled, never deleted, to avoid a misattribution. Nothing here is credited to UCSB: see
  the oai-pmh and datacite entries in conformance/ucsb-conformance.yml, both scored conforms:false with
  operator:tenant.'
