Hi Folks,I am implementing Vufind2 federated search to facilitate indexing koha, ejournals and dspace e-repository. It has been a bit straight forward to harvest metadata from the dspace repository using OAI-PMH, but i had to import marc records to vufind to populate the indexes with bibliographic records. The problem with this method is that any updates on the ILS cannot be automatically reflected on the vufind index. With a OAI-PMH harvesting, it would be possible to automatically sychronize the updates on ILS and the e-repository with vufind. I have zero experience on Koha's OAI-PMH configuration and access. I would really appreciate if anyone can give some easy steps on how to configure Koha's OAI-PMH. If anyone has experience harvesting Koha metadata using OAI-PMH, i would be happy to know how they went about it.Regards,Benson Mugambi
