Nottingham ePrints / eTheses OAI-PMH (gated)

Legacy EPrints repositories (Nottingham ePrints, Nottingham eTheses, Nottingham eDissertations) historically exposed OAI-PMH endpoints at /perl/oai2. As of verification these endpoints are protected by an AWS WAF human-verification challenge and do not return harvestable metadata over a direct programmatic request, so they are documented here as gated rather than openly available.
