Z39.50 Server Support is Now Available

Z39.50 is an international (ISO 23950) standard for computer-to-computer information retrieval. This makes it possible for a user in one system to search and retrieve information from other computer systems without knowing the search syntax used by those other systems. This is often done by a dedicated Z39.50 client program, a union catalog searching program, or even a cataloging program.
You can now allow Z39.50 clients to search your library by turning on the Z39.50 option. To do so:

1. Open your library.
2. Select the Settings link in the navigation bar.
3. Select General.
4. Click on an change the 'Allow Z39.50 client option to 'Y'.
5. Click on the Save button

Notice there is a path underneath the option. That path is used by the Z39.50 client application to open your library to search. The path looks like: z3950.libraryworld.com:210/[library_name]. The brackets should be removed when using the path and any spaces in the library name should be replaced with underlines.
