Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I'm pretty sure Alpeh *doesn't* have an SRU interface. There's no documentation for one on the Ex Libris site anyway. It does have some web services, and it's possible the library you are accessing here, Ralph, has written an SRU wrapper around those. YAZ Proxy in front of the Alpeh Z39 server also a possibility, as Ere mentioned. Probably best to talk to the specific library here. It's very likely this is their own creation. --Dave ================== David Walker Library Web Services Manager California State University http://xerxes.calstate.edu ________________________________________ From: Code for Libraries [[email protected]] On Behalf Of LeVan,Ralph [[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2010 8:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] SRU indexes for Aleph -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ere Maijala Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2010 4:11 AM > it's probably a custom YAZ Proxy.

I find it hard to believe that the Index Data folks don't know how to make an Explain record. Are you saying that Aleph has no native SRU capability and YAZ is the only SRU access to it? Thanks!
