Re: [LM_NET] MARC records for British children's titles

[Comcast <k.weisman@COMCAST.NET>]

Hi Betty and others who have written to me,

I still don't have any definitive answers, but I have learned a few  
things.

There is a list of z3950 servers at http://targettest.indexdata.com/.
I could not get any of the servers listed for the British library to  
work for me.   I had  our tech guy open up the appropriate ports, so  
I suspect the problem is that these are all fee based servers.

As a temporary solution I have been printing the cataloging from our  
public library OPAC  and  typing it into my system.  It's not a  
perfect fix, but it's better than my original cataloging.

I hope this helps.
