This is a server extension that allows a member of NDLTD using the ETD-db software produced at Virginia Tech to become an OAI Data Provider with a minimum of effort.

1. Choose which server to install the software on. If you install it on the same server as the ETD-db software, it will both be easier to install and will be in the standard location used by future ETD-db versions (which will have these scripts for OAI support built-in).
   • If you are installing on the same server as ETD-db
     • Download and ungzip the software to a directory within your ETD-db installation, typically ETD-db/cgi-bin/NDLTD-OAI.
     • Configure your web server to execute scripts from that directory. This is usually done with a line such as the following in Apache's http.conf file.
       

       ScriptAlias /ETD-db/NDLTD-OAI/ /export/ETD-db/cgi-bin/NDLTD-OAI/

   • If you are installing on a different server
     • Download and ungzip the software to a directory where it can be executed as a CGI script by a web server.
2. Read the README and INSTALL files and follow the instructions therein.
