Hi to all,

It has to be done manually.

>2 - the records are searchable at the local library, but I would presume

If you search on z39.50 connections the standard is that all records are located
elesewhere.
It is very unusual that you insert into z39.50 targets also you own server.

>3 - When doing a search, will their be options to only search at the

When you do a search you can select the targets.

>4 - The use fo Z39.50 depends on the target server to have a MARC

There isn't a formal way to confirm you have a z39.50 server open to others
libraries.
The normal way is: write a web page with you connections parameters
like this: http://www.bl.uk/bibliographic/z3950configuration.html
