[Koha] Adding Z39.50 servers

[library at ssst.edu.ba]

Hi, 

I must have missed that. That's a bummer, because I check that site whenever I'm cataloging and in 90% of the cases they already have the book I'm working on at that moment. It would have been easier to import the MARC records instead of copy/pasting lines one by one into the fields. Now I have to check if the British Library has the same disclaimer, because I requester a password to access their servers! 

Best regards

Hi,

Koha can only import MARC records from Z39.50 and they should match your Koha's MARC flavor (UNIMARC or MARC21).

The website you linked says:

XML and SUTRS are supported. There are no plans to deliver MARC records as part of the Library Hub Discover service. The XML records conform to the MODS Schema <http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/>.

So it might not be possible to use this as a target.

Hope this helps

Katrin

I added (presumably correctly) the Jisc Library Hub server using the data given athttps://discover.libraryhub.jisc.ac.uk/support/api/#z3950  and even though I can see there is a catalog entry for the book "Computer architecture : a quantitative approach", ISBN 9780123838728, the only thing that comes up when I try adding it using New from Z39.50/SRU is the following message:

I'm not sure why this is happening, and what I need to do to import the record as it exists on discover.libraryhub.jisc.ac.uk. Have any of you come accross something like this?
