``` Identify identify = harvester.identify(); System.out.println(identify.getRepositoryName()); System.out.println(identify.getProtocolVersion());

```

List<MetadataFormat> metadataformats = harverster.listMetadataFormats(); for(MetadataFormat metaformat : metadataformats) { System.out.println(metaformat.getSchema()); }

List<Set> sets = harverster.listSets(); for(Set set : sets) { System.out.println(set.getSetName()) }

List<Header> identifiers = harverster.listIdentifiers(); for(Header identifier:identifiers) { System.out.println(identifier.getIdentifier()); }


Record record = harvester.getRecord("oai:ciria.udlap.mx:u-dl-a/tesis/1011010008981"); System.out.println(record.getMetadata().getTitleList().get(0));

// This can take a few minutes. RecordIterator it = harvester.listRecords(); while(it.hasNext()) { Record record = it.next();
// process record here.
}
