Abstract
This poster studies the current state of the development of OAI repositories in Spain, Portugal and Latin America with two objectives: -First, to provide a map of the status of all kinds of initiatives OAI; -Second, deepening the search for indicators to measure the data distribution efficiency. Spain, Portugal and Latin America are united by historical, cultural and linguistic ties which make possible to carry out a unique study about OAI. There are relationships between the professional communities which go beyond the simple geographical proximity. Nevertheless the fact that there is no record of the OAI projects it Latin America makes it quite difficult to locate them and to evaluate the open access movement penetration in these geographical areas.
