SRU === Search and Retrieve by URL (SRU) is a RESTful protocol for providing a search and retrieval web service. The protocol has been developed by the Z39.50 International Maintenance Agency to provide a low cost alternative to Z39.50 for information providers who want to make their repositories available with a search/retrieval API.
