Z39.50 Settings for Library Catalog
The following information is provided for those who wish to configure Z39.50-compliant client software to connect to the University of Chicago Catalog, which is built on FOLIO, a Z39.50-compliant database.
EndNote users may download a customized connection file for best results.
The data as shown in the Connections Settings and Search Attributes sections below should be applicable to any Z39.50 client software. However, the Z39.50 standard includes several options for software developers. As a result, a Z39.50 client and a Z39.50 server may each have unique characteristics that, if known, will ensure successful connectivity and complete availability of all relevant data from the Z39.50 server. Therefore, when we have such knowledge, we have provided additional guidance in configuring specific Z39.50 clients.
