Part 2 We also need to give them z39.50 access to accurately show current shelving status of individual items. I believe our Koha installation is still using Zebra for this, so we should have a z39.50 service already working. I am able to handle port forwards through our external firewall without issue, but I need to know what to forward, and what kind of authentication information they will need. Any help is appreciated. *Joel Coehoorn* Director of Information Technology *York University* Office: 402-363-5603 | jcoehoorn@york.edu | york.edu On Tue, Oct 17, 2023 at 4:19 PM Coehoorn, Joel <jcoehoorn@york.edu> wrote:

We're working with EBSCO to try to make our Koha catalog details available as part of their discovery service for our students, so search results can show our holdings along side items from places like Academic Search Premier.

I can access our OAI-PMH data and see the OAI-PMH service is working in our Koha installation, and I can even find records by biblionumber. However, in order for EBSCO to ingest this information, they need to know a few things:

First, they need a URL into our OPAC that can identify a record, so they can link users to our catalog. Normally I would suggest this:

https://catalog.york.edu/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber={biblionumber}

But then for #2, they need to know where in the marc data to find the biblio number to complete the template for individual records. From what I can see, this item is *not included* in the marc data. Rather, it's an internal number that Koha only stores in the MySQL database.

How are others handling this?
