Hi.
OAIster is a project at the University of Michigan dealing directly with
the issue of uncovering resources in dynamic/database driven sites.
http://oaister.umdl.umich.edu/
Kat Hagedorn (mailto:khage@umich.edu) is the contact person.
There is much information at the web site. Here is a just a snippet...
"OAIster is a Mellon-funded project of the University of Michigan
Digital Library Production Services. Our goal is to create a
wide-ranging collection of free, useful, previously difficult-to-access
digital resources (what are digital resources?) that are easily
searchable by anyone."
