Koha ILS with GSDL
Digital Library Network South Asia in collaboration with University of Waikato has developed Live CD of Integration of Koha ILS with GSDL.
This is available in the Source Forge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gsdlkohalive/
You can use the software. Once the software is installed you need to give only biblio ID of Koha ILS in GSDL.
Open Access Map
The OA Map allows users to conduct searches or obtain overviews of Open Access developments around the world. This will help to prevent duplication, enhance collaboration and generally enable an approach where new projects properly build upon existing or completed ones.
The Map displays the locations of all types of OA-related initiatives, including funding policies, government documents, university mandates and so on. Much of this information already exists but it is scattered across domains. The Map can be used for OA education training and advocacy and should be extremely valuable in informing different constituencies, including policymakers and legislators, about the progress of OA in simple, clear and easily usable ways.

Open Directory of Open Access Repositories (DOAR)
OpenDOAR is primarily a service to enhance and support the academic and research activities of the global community. It maintains a comprehensive and authoritative list of institutional and subject-based repositories. It also encompasses archives set up by funding agencies like the National Institutes for Health in the USA or the Wellcome Trust in the UK and Europe. For definitions of repository types, see the footnotes for the relevant OpenDOAR statistical chart.
Users of the service are able to analyse repositories by location, type, the material they hold and other measures. One key point about OpenDOAR is that this information is of use not only to users wishing to find original research papers but also for third-party service providers, like search engines or alert services, who need easy to use tools for developing tailored search services to suit specific user communities.
The Centre for Research Communications at the University of Nottingham currently runs a suite of SHERPA Services for the Open Access community. SHERPA Services compiles and maintains the RoMEO service, which gives summaries of the archiving rights that different publishers allow authors to retain. To complement this, SHERPA Services also runs the JULIET service, which summarises the archiving responsibilities and requirements that funding agencies give as a condition of funding grants. OpenDOAR is the third part of this repository service, listing available open access repositories.
