To set up the harvest, you just have to follow the instructions displayed on the screen. How does the tool function? It sends the requests to the repository by using the normal [[https://www.openarchives.org/OAI/openarchivesprotocol.html OAI-PMH syntax]] (beginning with the first request: the verb '''''Identify''''') and proposes the choices between the different possibilities offered by the repository as soon as it receives the answers.

The first question the tool will ask you is the url of the OAI-PMH server. This url or web address must include the prefix: '''''http''''' or '''''https''''', for example: [http://www.gahetna.nl/archievenoverzicht/oai-pmh?verb=Identify http://www.gahetna.nl/archievenoverzicht/oai-pmh]

The tool then asks you to indicate whether your are using a proxy server. In some network environments access to the internet is secured via a proxy server. If that is the case, then enter the url or web address of the proxy server (ask the administrator of your network environment about this). In case you don't use a proxy server, for example in case you use the tool at home, then you can skip answering this question by pressing the enter key.

The harvester begins its dialogue with the repository by sending the request verbs and providing the according answers: list of metadata, list of sets, etc.

The tool lists the types of metadata found in the repository and asks you to select one of them:

In this example, data are provided in three different types of metadata: dc ([http://dublincore.org/specifications/ Dublin Core/XML]), ead (a short basic version of [https://www.loc.gov/ead/tglib/index.html EAD/XML]), and ead_full (the complete full version of [https://www.loc.gov/ead/tglib/index.html EAD/XML]).
