[Koha] OAI-PMH Setup

Wed Oct 18 12:22:47 NZDT 2023

Hi Joel,

You don't need to give EBSCO Z39.50 access. Their front-line integration people often get this wrong. 

For RTAC, you can give them access to your ILS-DI API. They'll be able to give you a list of IP address ranges to add to your system preferences regarding ILS-DI access.

EBSCO have done many EDS integrations with Koha, so one would've hoped they'd have a knowledge base article about it by now...

We're working with EBSCO to try to make our Koha catalog details available as part of their discovery service for our students, so search results can show our holdings along side items from places like Academic Search Premier.

I can access our OAI-PMH data and see the OAI-PMH service is working in our Koha installation, and I can even find records by biblionumber. However, in order for EBSCO to ingest this information, they need to know a few things:

First, they need a URL into our OPAC that can identify a record, so they can link users to our catalog. Normally I would suggest this:

https://catalog.york.edu/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber={biblionumber}

But then for #2, they need to know where in the marc data to find the biblio number to complete the template for individual records. From what I can see, this item is *not included* in the marc data. Rather, it's an internal number that Koha only stores in the MySQL database.

How are others handling this?

Part 2

We also need to give them z39.50 access to accurately show current shelving status of individual items. I believe our Koha installation is still using Zebra for this, so we should have a z39.50 service already working. I am able to handle port forwards through our external firewall without issue, but I need to know what to forward, and what kind of authentication information they will need. Any help is appreciated.

Unless your MARC frameworks are heavily customized, the Koha biblionumber can be found in the 999$c of the MARC record as retrieved from the OAI-PMH endpoint, assuming that the metadataPrefix is set to marc21 or marcxml. If the harvester is only using oai_dc, the numeric biblionumber is part of the record identifier (e.g., in your case, for OAI-PMH ID yuoai:2401, the biblionumber is 2401).

Regards,

Galen
