Adding or editing a Discovery source site

Once you have set up your Discovery search sources, you can configure the associated source sites. When you add or edit a Discovery source site, you specify the connection information to your ILS and OPAC, and settings such as the cataloging standard and the search pipeline, that specify how to interpret and process MARC record data.

If you want to display format type icons in Searching, you must specify a value for the Format search field when you set up the Discovery source site for which you want format type icons to display.

If you add or edit 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.
