Z39.50

Infographic: Evolution of the Noble Librarian
Courtesy of: Master-Degree-Online.com Z39.50



Z39.50 ➨ Z39.50 is a national and international standard defining a protocol for computer-to-computer information retrieval. It is a client–server, application layer communications protocol for searching and retrieving information from a database over a TCP/IP computer network. It is covered by ANSI/NISO standard Z39.50, and ISO standard 23950. The National Information Standards Organization of the United States (NISO) relating to libraries begin with Z39. To use Z39.50, you will need either special software or have an ILS with Z39.50 capabilities. Z39.50 acts like a “back door” into a library catalog. In order to download another library’s records, that library has to allow Z39.50 access to its catalog. If it does, though, there is no fee to pay the library providing the record.

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS TRANSITIONS TO ONLINE-ONLY CATALOGING PUBLICATIONS

June 21, 2013 -- The Library of Congress today announces a transition to online-only publication of its cataloging documentation. LC will cease printing new editions of its subject headings, classification schedules, and other cataloging publications. LC will instead provide free downloadable PDFs of these titles.

Free Cataloging Software

JTacq freeware (http://www.jtdata.com/jtacq.html) though not intended as a
standalone cataloging module, has many cataloging features. With it you can
collect bibliographic data from different sources such as spreadsheets,
vendor supplied data, and Amazon. JTacq can then take this data and
automatically generate MARC records based on field maps that you define.
This capability can be very useful if you want to generate order records
for your ILS Acquisitions Module.
In addition it is able to retrieve MARC records from any Z39.50 enabled
source, including OCLC. It can easily add constant data to bib record and
it can batch delete "junk" fields. All bibliographic fields are fully
editable. If you need to edit bibliographic records outside of your ILS
Cataloging Module, JTacq is a good option.
