Good idea, but it does not work that way. Koha expects ZOOM in that
field. http://www.indexdata.com/yaz/doc/zoom.html

sru=get is the equivalent to operation=searchRetrieve, schema the
equivalent to recordSchema…

…a tilde (~) in the URL has to be encoded at least in newer versions
of Koha. I would assume the same for the other fields. That would
give you something like

sru=get,sru_version=1.1,schema=info%3Asrw%2Fschema%2F1%2Fmarcxml-v1.1-light

Not sure if that matters, but it works without / for other servers.

Try YAZ-client to test the connection. http://www.indexdata.com/yaz

Spoiler: it did not work for me anyway, but maybe the ZOOM stuff and
YAZ get you in the right direction. You may want to get in contact
with the Swissbib people if you can't get it to work.

I put up the information related to DNB (German National Library) a
while back. It's in German, but you can probably understand the
config part and how to use yaz-client to test.
