I'm Agung from STIKOM Library. I already install this application, and it's running well. But I also have problem when input at "OAI Base URL*". Can someone explain about this link? Is the any another installation to make OAI link? I really need advice because I'm still newbie.

Thank you

Hi Agung,

The OAI base URL is the URL to the data source's script that responds to OAI-PMH requests. (A typical request that can be used to test OAI URLs is: http://oai-url-here/path/to/oai-script?verb=Identify, where http://oai-url-here/path/to/oai-script is the OAI base URL.)

For an OJS installation, this might be something like http://url-to-journal/index.php/index/oai.

The specific OAI URL to use should be included somewhere in your OAI data source's documentation.
