[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Z39.50 Searching (OCLC)

[Hardy, Elaine]

Stuart, 

Thirty seconds is an unusually long time for search to return from OCLC in the Z39.50 interface. Searches with large result sets can take a little longer than a search under 10 records to populate, but not that long. Certainly searches with fewer than 10 records in the result set only take seconds to populate under normal circumstances.

Hi 

Our cataloger reports that when searching OCLC via Z39.50 the results 
take at least 30 seconds to return. I have myself tried this at home and 
the time period is roughly the same (within a few seconds). Does the 
search from the staff client go to the evergreen server first then to 
OCLC or is it direct to OCLC from the staff client. 

Any information would be useful as productivity is reduced drastically 
at the moment. 

Thanks
