 >The first of a remarkable new set of Open Archive Services that will
 >be provided on top of the Open Archives themselves has just been
 >registered: http://arc.cs.odu.edu/
 >
 >This search engine, ARC, will give you a taste of what it will be like
 >to be able to search the entire refereed research literature, archived
 >across a set of interoperable Eprint Archives distributed around the
 >world spanning all disciplines.
 >
 >So far, the most heavily archived disciplines are Physics, Mathematics,
 >and Computer Science, with the Cognitive Sciences (Psychology,
 >Neuroscience, Behavioral Biology, Linguistics, Neuroscience) still only
 >on the lightweight end, but with the forthcoming operational release of
 >the eprints.org self-archiving sofware, the share of all disciplines
 >and papers should begin to grow substantially: http://www.eprints.org
 >
 >Try the ARC searcher, and imagine what it would be like if YOUR papers
 >were already in one of those archives, and could be found and read by
 >everyone, everywhere, for free, and forever.
 >
 >(And then get your institution to install the [free]
 >eprint-archive-creating software -- and then go ahead and self-archive
 >all your papers....)

 >The first Santa Fe compliant service provider has been registered at
 >http://www.openarchives.org/sfc/sfc_services.htm .
 >
 >It is a cross e-print search engine created at Old Dominion University.
 >Some may recognize the interface [http://arc.cs.odu.edu/] since it is
 >very similar to the one used in the UPS prototype.  Behind the scenes,
 >however, things have changed quite fundamentally.

 >Congratulations.
