Welcome! This service improves access to the output of small publishers by allowing their bibliographic records to be distributed to union catalogues and other metadata aggregation services.
This is achieved by allowing those services to harvest the records using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). The protocol requires the records to use a specific format. This Gateway enables harvesting of a file of such records called a static repository, and it complies with the Specification for an OAI Static Repository and an OAI Static Repository Gateway.
To register a Static Repository with this Gateway, complete all parts of this form and click the Submit button. Please ensure that the repository complies with the technical requirements given below.
An OAI Static Repository can use this Gateway service if it meets the following conditions:
To prevent a Static Repository already registered with this Gateway service from being harvested, use the Termination page.
The Stargate gateway was developed and is maintained by the Centre for Digital Library Research as part of the Stargate project extension.
The software for this Gateway service was developed by Patrick Hochstenbach & Henry Jerez, in a project of the Prototyping Team of the Research Library of the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
