Hi Martin,

(adding the AAI taskforce)

Interesting indeed, I cannot find them either when logging in via

https://ota.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/repository/xmlui/

I can find them however in our new eduGAIN-enabled beta discovery service:

https://discovery.clarin-dev.eu/feed/edugain

I noticed that your DSpace installation is still using
discojuice.org-hosted services. As the support will seize end of this
year, that seem to be 2 good reasons to switch to the
discovery.clarin.eu service.

Today we will send out a centre news with more details on this (launch
expected on Thu).

best,
