Add and define the following properties to sakai.properties:

  • osidImpl@org.sakaiproject.citation.api.SearchManager - the package name of the Repository OSID implementation:
    • For the MetaLib X-Server
      No Format
      org.sakaibrary.osid.repository.xserver
    • For the Sirsi Web2Bridge
      No Format
      edu.indiana.lib.osid.base.repository.http
  • metasearchUsername@org.sakaiproject.citation.api.SearchManager - the username used to access your metasearch engine.
  • metasearchPassword@org.sakaiproject.citation.api.SearchManager - the password used to access your metasearch engine.
  • metasearchBaseUrl@org.sakaiproject.citation.api.SearchManager
    *

There are two properties that need to be changed to create a search category:

  • repository_X_displayName - the name that users see
  • repository_X_id - the id(s) for the search source(s) included in this search category
    • if there are multiple ids, they should be comma delimited - this will result in all search sources being searched simultaneously when this search category is selected.

The following properties must be left unchanged:

  • osid_20_Id_Implementation=org.sakaiproject.component.osid.id
  • repository_X_searchtype_0_authority=sakaibrary
  • repository_X_searchtype_0_domain=search
  • repository_X_searchtype_0_keyword=asychMetasearch
  • repository_X_searchtype_0_typeDescription=Sakaibrary Asynchronous Metasearch

The value of the following properties are currently unused (they should be left in the file, but their values do not matter):

  • repository_X_description
  • repository_X_searchtype_0_query - the metasearch engine XML gateway base URL.
    • Example for the MetaLib X-Server
      No Format
      http://metalib.university.edu/X
    • Example for the Sirsi Web2Bridge
  • openUrlResolverAddress@org.sakaiproject.citation.api.CitationService - the base URL for your institution's OpenURL link resolver.
    • If you do not know this address, or, do not have an OpenURL link resolver, you can use OCLC's OpenURL Gateway. The base URL for this OpenURL resolver is:
      No Format
      http://worldcatlibraries.org/registry/gateway
  • openUrlLabel@org.sakaiproject.citation.api.CitationService - the label users see for the OpenURL resolution link to find full-text and other institutional services (i.e. "Find It!", "IU Link", etc.).

Additional Guidelines

  • There should be at least one repository defined (repository_0_...).
  • Search categories should have consecutively increasing repository numbers: repository_0_..., repository_1_..., repository_2_..., etc.
  • There is no limit to the number of repositories defined.
