Harvesting OAI Metadata from TigerPrints for the Catalog

1. Open Marc Edit and go to the Add-Ins menu. Pull down to OAI Harvester Tools, then to Harvest OAI Records. You will see a window that looks like this:

ME OAI Harvest Window 1

OAI Data Harvester

The first time you do a harvest, you need to input settings into this window. These will be saved after the first time.

Server: http://tigerprints.clemson.edu/do/oai/

Set Name:

(for patents): publication:clemson_patents&metadataPrefix=dcs

(for dissertations): publication:all_dissertations&metadataPrefix=dcs

(for theses): publication:all_theses&metadataPrefix=dcs

Metadata: Dublin Core

Crosswalk: C:Program Files\MarcEdit 6\xslt\OAIDCtoMARCXMLClemson.xsl

Don’t worry about Advanced Settings.

Your window will look like this:

ME OAI Harvest Window 2

2. Click OK. You will see a window with various messages such as “Harvesting Records” and a count of how many records are being harvested, along with a green arrow showing the progress of the harvest in numbers of records.

3. At the end of the harvest, you will see a screen giving you information like “resumption token.” This is not necessarily something to ignore but for now, you can.

4. Save ALL harvested records as a .mrk file (it will not happen automatically).

5. Do your edits via Find/Replace or other MarcEdit utilities.

Click to go to Modifications to TigerPrints Metadata Records using MarcEdit.
