Susan, Assuming you have the Yaz-client installed, you can connect to OCLC like this: ~$yaz-client zcat.oclc.org:210/olucworldcat -u username/password If successful, this will report something like below and take you to the yaz prompt: Authentication set to Open (user/password) Connecting...OK. Sent initrequest. Connection accepted by v3 target. ...... Then from the Yaz prompt: Z>f @attr 1=7 9780226895109 Sent searchRequest. Received SearchResponse. Search was a success. Number of hits: 2, setno 5 Result Set Status: 0 records returned: 0 Elapsed: 0.143152 Z>show 1 Which will display the record. Hope this helps, Ted 2010/5/4 Susan Mustafa <susan.mustafa@gmail.com>:

Dear All,
I would like to know if I can in anyway increase the speed of the Z39.50 Search Engine?. We are only connecting to OCLC, and no other Libraries are checked before searching.
Searching based on ISBN takes close 10 seconds to produce data [With 2 result sets being returned so not a lot]
Please help, as the Library director is breathing down my neck.
Hi Susan
Have you tried searching OCLC using yaz-client on the commandline .. is that the same delay?
Chris
