UCSF scholarly output via eScholarship OAI-PMH

UCSF's open-access scholarly output is harvestable as a named OAI-PMH set on the University of California's eScholarship repository, returning oai_dc records with ark:/13030/ identifiers. This satisfies the education regime's `oai-pmh` domain standard for UCSF's content, but the OAI-PMH implementation belongs to the California Digital Library. Verified live 2026-08-19.
