The [CIC Metadata Portal](https://cicharvest.grainger.uiuc.edu/index.asp?ref=lorcandempsey.net "CIC-OAI Resources Online Project") provides access to a range of collections in the CIC libraries. Metadata is harvested from collections distributed among CIC members.  
There is also a useful set of background materials on metadata and OAI.
