Z39.50 servers: when can I find Italian ones?

Fri, 02/19/2010 - 10:21 — Hileotech

Sorry for my noob question, but...
I find myself in the need to search for a big amount of references (I mean some 300 or so...), and I know they all are in Italian OPAC system (I searched them through www.internetculturale.it and found what I was looking for). Now the point is that "pre-built" Z39.50 italian servers DO NOT have those references. In particular I found many of them in Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale in Florence (but not only).
My question, is: is there a way to add as a new search provider a public OPAC? If so, where can I find the parameters?

Thanks for any help!

If you double click a Z39.50

If you double click a Z39.50 source in Biblioscape "Online "Search" tab, "Z39.50" sub-tab, the full list will be shown. You can then click the "New" button to add a source. If you cannot find the needed parameters on the Web, you can ask your librarian for help.

Thank you... but...

... I still can't figure out how to put parameters into Biblioscape.
I try to explain. Here: http://www.iccu.sbn.it/genera.jsp?id=169 I found all official parameters for italian ICCU / SBN. I don't know why, but as I enter them into a "new" item in search list, and use it as default provider, a "No match" error pops up. And, of course, the author I'm looking for does exist and I can find him through www.internetculturale.it .
I'm sure I'm missing some step, and maybe you or some other Biblioscape user could help me.

Thank you again!

I created a connection file

I created a connection file for the Z39.50 server. But the result is in Italian and it looks like this:

Livello bibliografico: Monografia

Tipo documento: Testo a stampa

Titolo: L' *era dei jet

Pubblicazione: Bresso : Hobby & work, c1999

Descrizione fisica: 149 p. : ill. ; 29 cm.

Fa parte di: *Storia dell'aeronautica#{IT\ICCU\MIL\0584238}

Paese di pubblicazione: IT

Lingua di pubblicazione: ita

Localizzazioni: #{BVECR} - RM0267 - Biblioteca nazionale

centrale Vittorio Emanuele II - Roma - RM

Codice identificativo: IT\ICCU\BVE\0370467

An import filter needs to be created for this format. Since I don't understand Italian, I don't know how to map the output to Biblioscape database fields. Please send me an email (support@biblioscape.com) and I will send you the connection file. You can then create an import filter for it.
