The Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Bremen (State and University Library Bremen) has enhanced its electronic catalog, SuUB Bremen, to include selected open-access, OAI-compliant repositories such as arXiv and the institutional repositories of several German universities. The only English-language details I can find are on the page of OAI service providers (scroll to the bottom).
(PS: I believe this is a first. Many libraries have added OA journals to their catalogs, but I am not aware of another library that has added OA, OAI-compliant repositories to its catalog.)
Update. The Bremen library has now added a OAI filter to the extended search page of the catalog. Thanks to Klaus Graf for making the request and thanks to Elmar Haake at Bremen for satisfying it.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
