Fields: Discovery Source Sites
A Discovery source site points to specific databases or instances on the Discovery search source where the data is extracted. It also specifies the connection information to your ILS and OPAC, and how the data from the source site should be handled, such as the catalog standard and the search pipeline.
| |
If you add or edit the settings for a Discovery source site, you must refresh the Discovery search cache afterwards. Your changes are not reflected in Searching or the Admin console until you refresh the search cache. For more information about refreshing the Discovery search cache, see Refreshing the search cache. |
