Setting up a Discovery Import Profile

Configuration –> Discovery –> Discovery Import Profiles

Click Add New Profile:

New import profile

Choose "Discovery" as your Profile Type and click Next.

First page: Fill out Details

Profile Name = whatever you'd like, eg. LibGuides
Data Source Code = LIBGUIDES
Originating System = Other
Import Protocol = OAI
Source Format = Dublin Core
Data Source Label = whatever you'd like, eg. Library Research Guides

Import Profile Details

Scroll down and fill out the OAI details:

OAI details

You can find your OAI Base URL in LibGuides. Log into LibGuides, click on Tools in the header, click on Data Exports, and click on the OAI-PMH tab to get your URL. For example, Upstate's OAI Base URL is http://guides.upstate.edu/oai.php

Once you've added your OAI Base URL, click Connect and Edit. This should connect to LibGuides and pull in the rest of your OAI Details, like Repository Name, set, etc. You can choose to import all of your guides or a subset, and you can choose to Open Test Page to check your settings (note: if you have LibGuides CMS this test may not work but your import will still work).

If you want to go back and edit/rerun your import profile make sure to reconnect (Connect and Edit button) and update the Harvest Start Date back to the earliest date stamp:

Connect and Edit

Lynn notes: "As the profile has been run before, the harvest start date will be from the last run and you may not be getting all of the records. Also note that if you have to change linking parameters, you don't have to delete/reload the repository - you can change them in the import profile and see the changes immediately."

Create LibGuides content for scope:

Nancy Babb asked: "I added our LibGuides as an external collection and can find them in Primo VE. I'd now like to try out a separate search profile for them. The documentation "SUNY Loading External Data Sources / Digital Repositories" notes the following steps:

Can also add it as separate search profile:
a. Discovery > Search Profiles > Custom Local Data Scopes (use search index = Available Digital as the condition)
b. Discovery > Search Profiles > Search Profiles
c. Discovery > Configure Views > Search Profile Slots

But the local data scope I create using only "available digital" presents our Digital Commons content.
Is there a way I can specify the LibGuides content for a scope?"

Lynn answered: "Yes - the documentation has been revised to use search index = External Data Source as the condition. This will allow you to pick a specific repository. See SUNY Digital Repositories document."
