-Starting with VuFind 1.0.1, a simple tool is included for harvesting records using the [[http://www.openarchives.org/pmh/|OAI-PMH]] protocol.+===== About OAI-PMH ===== 
 + 
 +Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting ([[http://www.openarchives.org/pmh/|OAI-PMH]]) is a low-barrier mechanism for repository interoperability. Data Providers are repositories that expose structured metadata via OAI-PMH. Service Providers then make OAI-PMH service requests to harvest that metadata. OAI-PMH is a set of six verbs or services that are invoked via HTTP.  
 + 
 +VuFind has been able to act as a Service Provider since release 1.0.1, since a simple tool is included for harvesting records using the protocol. This tool is also available as a standalone project called [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufindharvest|VuFindHarvest]].

   * Processing a large number of MARC files using default settings can be very slow, since records are processed one file at a time.  The "combineRecords" and "combineRecordsTag" settings in oai.ini can be used to counteract this problem. These settings were introduced in VuFind 2.4.   * Processing a large number of MARC files using default settings can be very slow, since records are processed one file at a time.  The "combineRecords" and "combineRecordsTag" settings in oai.ini can be used to counteract this problem.
