Avalon can be configured to import descriptive metadata from an external source (such as an OPAC) via SRU or Z39.50.
SRU Configuration
To configure Avalon to use an SRU source (such as yaz-proxy), you will need the following information:
- The SRU endpoint for the server you want to search
- The query that will return the correct record for the bibliographic ID provided
Example
SRU Configuration
bib_retriever:
protocol: sru
url: http://zgate.library.example.edu:9000/catdb
query: rec.id=%{bib_id}
