Grand Rapids Public Library uses these Z39.50 sources:<br>

Library of Congress, MeLCat, Milwaukee, OCLC, and Ohiolink.<br>

We used to have some others on our Z39.50 page, but we didn't get
results from them, so we dropped them.<br>

glad you brought it up. I usually start looking for
possibilities on

The host connection reliability is pretty trustworthy-- you
can also test a connection from that site. We’ve added a
few targets and dropped a few, and I’ve been able to use
that site to verify reliability (or lack thereof).</p>

Prospector, LC, New York Public, OCLC (if applicable), San
Francisco Public, and University of South Carolina. It’s
helpful to have a local university in there for local
history-ish things.</p>

sources from large libraries and library systems --
Milwaukee PL, Sacramento PL, UNC, Cuyahoga County, etc.
I'd like to hear more about how other systems are using
Z39.50 with targets other than OCLC and SkyRiver. Where
do you find the targets -- so many of the lists are out
of date. Do you ask for permission to use them and
import records? Should we be encouraging more sharing
of Z39.50 targets among Evergreen libraries? Any issues
you've run into with configurations?</p>
