Hi,

We at the National Library will soon begin our 2023 New Zealand domain crawl. As in previous years, the crawl is being run by Internet Archive, and some of you may soon see the crawlers as IA go through their initial setup with some test crawls.

The user agent string their crawlers will be using is: NLNZ_IAHarvester2023

For more information on our domain crawls please see http://natlib.govt.nz/publishers-and-authors/web-harvesting/domain-harvest

While we do our best to crawl respectfully, obey robots.txt, and break out of any crawler traps before grinding too much bandwidth, if you encounter any issues from us then please get in contact.

Cheers,

Ben O�Brien | Digital Preservation Web Engineer | Preservation, Research and Consultancy
