Department Numbers

A current LU organization tree with department numbers is possible to obtain from http://lup.lub.lu.se/luur/authority_organization?func=getOrganizations&format=xml in XML format.

Examples

Search for records containing the word "horse":


  http://lup.lub.lu.se/sru?version=1.1&operation=searchRetrieve&query=horse

Search for records where the author name contains both "Johan" and "Eriksson":


  http://lup.lub.lu.se/sru?version=1.1&operation=searchRetrieve&query=author+all+%22Johan+Eriksson%22

Search for dissertations with the author with LUCAT ID "fysi-hni":






  http://lup.lub.lu.se/sru?version=1.1&operation=searchRetrieve&query=author+exact+%22fysi-hni%22AND+documentType+exact+dissertation

Search for records containing the word "frog". Sort the results by publishing year descending, title ascending:


  http://lup.lub.lu.se/sru?version=1.1&operation=searchRetrieve&query=frog&sortKeys=publishingYear,,0+title

A phrase query with in the field title:


  http://lup.lub.lu.se/sru?version=1.1&operation=searchRetrieve&query=title=%22active+control%22

A query searching for an author with truncated surname:


  http://lup.lub.lu.se/sru?version=1.1&operation=searchRetrieve&query=author+all+%22Johan+S*%22

Note that the maximum size of the URI should not reach more than 8190 bytes or you will get the "URI too long" server error. In order to avoid this error for large queries the request to the server can be sent as a POST request instead of a GET request.

Output format

For description (in Swedish) of the output format see: MODS applikationsprofil .
