The COnnecting REpositories tool (CORE) helps to Search UK's Repositories.

A new search engine should help academics, students and the general public navigate papers held in the UK’s open-access repositories. The COnnecting REpositories tool (CORE) enables people to search the full text of items held in all approved open-access repositories in the country.

CORE http://core.kmi.open.ac.uk/search

CORE is accessible via an online portal, via users’ mobile devices or through repositories and libraries that have integrated CORE with their own search features.

CORE is already integrated into The Open University’s research repository, Open Research Online (ORO) which includes more than 18,900 research publications.
