Try:  host:  www.archiveshub.ac.uk Port: 1212 DB: eadhub

set recsyntax to GRS1, XML or SGML -- we don't support automatic 
conversion to MARC at the moment. (As it's debatable as to what would be 
the 'correct' transformation for a lot of things)

Try a title search for 'paper' or 'collection' for example.

Present will retrieve the full EAD XML record.

Also available is elementset TPGRS which returns just the title and a 
document identifier, useful for creating title lists from a seach. As the 
name implies, you should use GRS1 recsyntax for this.

Hope that helps,

Rob
