bookpedia and bol.it

[xizzy]

Yes Nora, thanks. I did it with no success the RTFM standard answer is not what is needed

I'm truly unable to find the correct parameters but on these days I'll contact a local library searching some tips.

Can you pick up the required parameters from this page?

Thanks!

I tried out the information from the web page you sent, straight on the z39.50 interface skipping Bookpedia all together in my terminal window. And I get no results from the server. There must be a configuration I am missing, you will need to get help from the library who runs the server on how to configure the query. Most of the time, server addresses are accompanied by a database name which this one does not have. That could be the issue.

These are the results of asking the yaz client directly in the terminal window.

Code: Select all

computer: ./yazclient opac.sbn.it:3950 USmarc "@attr 1=1016 "roberto"" 10
results: 0
computer: ./yazclient opac.sbn.it:3950 USmarc "@attr 1=4 "roberto"" 10
results: 0
computer: ./yazclient opac.sbn.it:3950 xml "@attr 1=4 "roberto"" 10
results: 0
computer: ./yazclient opac.sbn.it:3950 marcxml "@attr 1=4 "roberto"" 10
results: 0

Asking to my local Library they sorted out two interesting databases:

http://www.internetculturale.it/moduli/opac/opac.jsp

http://sbnweb.csi.it:8092/semplice.html

(or better)

http://sbnweb.csi.it:8092/BASIS/opacx/u ... simplex/sf

They allow to browse a national database. I think this is far better than ibs and bol !

Finally i find out the right settings for OPAC services:

Indirizzo Internet del server: opac.sbn.it alla porta 3950
Nome del database: xxdefault
Ore di disponibilità: 0 - 24
Profili accettati: Z39.50 su TCP - ONE-2 - ATS-1 - Z39.50/ILL Profile 2 - SBN
Sintassi del record / Record syntax SUTRS, UNIMARC, MARC21, XML

but i was unable to made it work

This is surely the best source for italian books because this is the national database for public libraries! It's the closer thing to a total catalogation we can have.

I can't get it to work with that information. But I did find this online and it works by referencing the nopac database instead of xxdefault.

Server: opac.sbn.it:3950/nopac
Format: USMarc
Encoding: UTF8

Thank you, it's working!!

Sorry to say that it works only with keyword search and not with ISBN numbers

Hello everyone,
another italian here with server problems. Thanks for correct sbn parameters. Talking about bol.it, I've found these infos on their site (http://www.bol.it/home/areapartner#motore):
