Well, the use case envisioned by Stockholm UL would in practice ideally involve
fetching ONE record every 10 minutes or so!
The cataloger will be creating/modifying a bib record and a mfhd record in our
union catalog.
Next, the cataloger will turn to our local catalog, Koha, expecting to find
this record already imported.
If there is a way for the harvester to decide which ONE record to get...maybe
even with some intervention by the cataloger...?
So when this ONE record is asked for, we want it to be a quick process getting
it from the source and into Koha.

Then nightly more massive harvests could be performed to catch up with other
modifications to the union catalog.

>From my point of view it seems a little contrived to use a OAI harvester for
this kind of job - synching Koha with union catalog just to be able to
instantly work locally on a record.
But it is what has been recommended to us by the union catalog from which we
are importing records.
