How can I search using Z39.50 in Connexion client?
Applies to
- Z39.50 with Connexion client
Answer
The purpose of the Z39.50 link in Connexion client is to transfer records from the library’s local system to the Connexion client, and then upload the records to WorldCat. The library likely has record IDs for their original records. The record IDs are probably the best way to locate their records using this Z39.50 option.
The library needs to configure Connexion client before the Z39.50 transfer can work. Go to Tools > Options > Z39.50 to set up this configuration in Connexion client. Open the Z39.50 tab, and then click Help to display the online documentation for details.
