Tutorial: OAI-PMH Search By keyword

1. Configure for OAI-PMH search: Configure remote OAI-PMH data provider, configure local host.
2. Harvest from one or more OAI-PMH data providers.
3. Home > Query by Keyword.
4. Select one-or-more OAI-PMH repositories for OAI-PMH search.
5. Enter zero-or-more-terms.
6. Submit search.
7. Review results.

NOTES:

• If a search result does not provide any records, it can be due to the following possible reasons:
  1. OAI-PMH is not yet configured properly remotely or locally.
  2. The current system (a.k.a., "harvester") has not yet harvested records from any of its repositories.
  3. The remote OAI-PMH data provider repository has no records at all (and thus can't return any for any query).
  4. Records exist for searching, however none of them matched the existing search terms.
