Re: [VuFind-Tech] "Exlibris Aleph: Notes currently unavailable – please help us fill in the documentation!"

[Eoghan Ó C. <eog...@gm...>]

Vaclav, Nathan,
Thanks for the quick replies.

Good to hear that the export is straight forward and works well with
SolrMarc. "procedure print-03" means nothing to me, but I'm guessing it
will once I actually look at the Aleph documentation.

So it isn't an either/or - the driver can use REST for some methods &
xServer for others (depending on performance or security perhaps)? Again,
I'm sure this will make more sense with the documentation. Anything else
you can send tomorrow, much appreciated.

All the best,
Eoghan
