Contributing Records to Rapido CB

Polaris contributes bibliographic and item information to Rapido pods for titles that are eligible for resource sharing. Rapido harvests MARC data from Polaris using an OAI-PMH harvesting service. This service is not installed by default; Innovative installs it while setting up the Rapido  integration. Profiling in Polaris OAI-PMH and Rapido determines which bibliographic and item records are included in Rapido for requesting.

For more information on the harvesting service, see Harvesting Bibliographic Record Data with OAI-PMH in the Leap help.

To learn more about OAI-PMH, see Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting.
