Abstract
An opportunity to completely automate data contribution to the Australian National Bibliographic Database (ANBD) emerged in late 2019 by extending Trove’s existing use of the Open Archive Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) to ANBD MARC records. Trove Collaborative Services and Vendors collaborated in developing OAI-PMH Daily Update modules, which could be deployed to their partner libraries. Eighteen months later these benefits are being realised with a ‘set and forget’ automated update to the ANBD resulting in less time, less effort and more current data for everyone involved.
