[Evergreen-catalogers] [EXTERNAL] Z39.50 & OCLC - One ISBN just locks up

[Charles Wiggins]

When I try the Z39.50 search either for the ISBN or the TCN, the search just never stops, but I can use the menus to go on to other functions, so I would not describe it as "locking up."

When I searched OCLC Record Manager by ISBN I got the list of 8 records and was able to open and view OCLC Number: 1423040250 and the other 7, no problem.

I have not seen that with any other records, but I don't do that much cataloging.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Evergreen-catalogers] Z39.50 & OCLC - One ISBN just locks up

Hello, we are noticing that a Z39.50 search of OCLC for  9780143138136 seems to lock up the search.

It seems like the first of the 8 records it finds cannot be parsed by Evergreen.  Has anyone run into this?

I think it is the OCLC record #1423040250 that is choking things since a direct search for that ID results in the same symptoms, while other variations of records for that ISBN do load.

Our evergreen logs are at, which show the search process dieing.

Our Z39.50 config is set to usmarc which I think it correct for searching OCLC going by this documentation.
