A nice tutorial on the metadata harvesting protocol has just been
published. Gary and I think that it is useful background for any would-be
implementers of an OLAC data provider.

Abstract: In this article I outline the ideas behind the Open Archives
Initiative metadata harvesting protocol (OAIMH), and attempt to clarify
some common misconceptions. I then consider how the OAIMH protocol can be
used to expose and harvest metadata. Perl code examples are given as
practical illustration.
