Technical Prerequisites for Member Institution Participation

In order for member institutions to ready themselves for participation, they need to do the following:

1. Follow the instructions at https://github.com/UCLALibrary/resourcesync-oai-pmh/tree/master/resourcesync_oai_pmh/source for setting up a host machine and installing the required software.
2. Follow the instructions at https://github.com/UCLALibrary/resourcesync-oai-pmh/wiki/Use-Case-Recipes#content-provider-source for making their chosen collections available for synchronization.
3. Ensure that UCLA Library has access via HTTP GET to all of the URLs found in the generated ResourceSync documents (typically, the resource at "/.well-known/resourcesync", as well as all the resources under "/resourcesync" and all the URLs found in the generated ResourceLists and ChangeLists). Please contact [email protected] for more information, including which hosts should be allowed access.
4. Point UCLA Library to their:
   1. ResourceSync source description URL (e.g., http://prrlapython-source.library.ucla.edu/.well-known/resourcesync)
   2. All OAI-PMH endpoint URLs for the resources referenced in the ResourceLists and Changelists. These URLs are found in the baseURL tag in the OAI-PMH "Identify" request: (e.g., http://digital2.library.ucla.edu/oai2_0.do)
