Agenda:

• Blacklight OAI used by Lafayette, OSU, and SoftServ to provide OAI with Samvera platforms

• Braydon Justice SoftServ

  • /catalog/oai

  • Defaults to OAI DC

  • Hyku - Braydon: SoftServ has implemented some code into Hyku for more easy customization in Samvera. By default, there are no additional fields. Now, there is an OAI and Hyku field. However, it doesn’t support “pretty, custom” format. View of raw XML. Can use customizations to add other prefixes with SoftServ. They have made it that there is one file where you can add your header specs. Uses SOLR query. This is all developed by SoftServe. There are other files that need to be edited.

  • Adding a thumbnail link is about 10 lines of code. Would do a SOLR query for that specific field.

  • Use Blacklight OAI gem and make some changes in the Samvera layer

• Anna Malantonio, Lafayette University
