> There is a menu for switching between different base URLs because we have
> multiple providers and test platforms.
> 
> I have followed the rules set out in
> http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/openarchivesprotocol.htm#Protocol.
> ..

> There are links on the web page to help the user quickly locate specific terms
> and rules from openarchives.org.
> 
> I try to catch errors that occur as the web form is filled out, but no
