Hi Edward -- I am not sure if you're allowed to tweak normalization and pipe rules for the hosted Primo you have, but if the confidential information were in fairly consistent fields, you could either 1) make this a collection that is only searchable for authenticated Primo users or 2) define a regex normalization rule that strips out the confidential information (although you may want to retain that for staff to see), or 3) retain the information in the PNX record, but not add it to the display section with a regex normalization rule (so staff users could still see these with the view PNX option, but general users would not see these fields). Just some ideas from the Primo end of things. - pascal --- Pascal Calarco Head, Library Information Systems Hesburgh Libraries, University of Notre Dame / Michiana Academic Library Consortium Notre Dame, IN http://www.library.nd.edu/ ________________________________________ From: Code for Libraries [[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Edward M.

Hi, I [will soon] have a small set (< 1000 records) of Dublin Core metadata published in OAI_DC format that I want to be searchable via a Web browser. Normally we would use Ex Libris's Primo for this, but this particular set of data may have some confidential information and our repository only has minimal built in search functions. While we still may go with Primo for these records, I am looking for at other possibilities. The requirements as I see them are: 1) Can ingest records in OAI_DC format 2) Allow remote end-users who are familiar with the collection search these ingest records via a Web browser. 3)Search should be keyword anywhere or individual fields although it does not need to have every whizzbang feature out there. In other words, basic search feature are fine. 4) Should support the ability to link to the display copy in our repository (probably goes without saying) 5) Should be simple to install and maintain (Thus, at least in my mind, eliminating something like Blacklight) 6) Preferably a LAMP application although a Windows server based solution is a possibility as well 7) Preferably Open Source, or at least no- or low-cost I haven't been able to find anything searching the Web, but it seems like something people may have done before. Before I re-invent the wheel or shoe-horn something together, does anyone have any suggestions? Edward
