BIBSYS Library Base — Bibliographic Data — SRU

Unit (formerly BIBSYS) offers access to bibliographic data through the Protocol Search and Retrieve via URL (SRU). SRU is a standard search protocol that uses the Contextual Query Language (CQL). The standard has been developed by the Library of Congress and BIBSYS fully supports the protocol. The SRU service can be used to search for BIBSYS Library Base (overview of Norwegian academic libraries’ collections). The service can be used by everyone, but for extensive use and many calls, we ask that you contact us to ensure good performance of the service. The SRU protocol is self-explain. By using the following watch, the service tells what services/indexes it can offer: https://bibsys.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/view/sru/47BIBSYS_NETWORK?version=1.2&operation=explain Example of searching against the Library base with the keyword fur hunter life: http://bibsys.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/view/sru/47BIBSYS_NETWORK?version=1.2&operation=searchRetrieve&recordSchema=marcxml&query=all=pelsjegerliv Example of searching for the Library Base at ISBN: 8205342687: http://bibsys.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/view/sru/47BIBSYS_NETWORK?version=1.2&operation=searchRetrieve&recordSchema=marcxml&query=alma.isbn=8205342687 The information has been last updated 08/01 2020.
