Z39.50

["Sally A. Barlow" <barlowsa@OTSEGO.NET>]

Dear fellow librarians:

Would any of you explain to me what Z39.50 is?    I wanted to find a
complete copy of an article 'The Net and Z39.50: Toward a Virtual Union
Catalog'   that is listed on the Web site for Computers in Libraries:
http://www.infotoday.com/cilmag/ciltop.htm   but I haven't as of yet, and
now I am out of school for Thanksgiving Vacation.  I know that SIRS
Mandarins uses Z39.50 in conjuction with Windows NT but I would like to
know just   what  is  Z39.50.

Thank you.
