[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] OCLC Z39.50

[Travis Schafer]

Ruth,
 
I am using my OCLC autho and password. I'm not sure that it's a problem on the OCLC side... given that I see the records come back to the Evergreen server. I was guessing I had something wrong with a config file, etc. But, I'm open to any suggestions...

Hi Travis 

Are you using your OCLC autho and password for the z39.50 search?  I'm cc'ing Aaron Smith on this email (our OCLC support guru for Michigan libraries).  If you'd like, you can call him directly at our 800# (ext. 140) to see if he can walk you through it. 

FYI, Ruth

Hello, 
  
As we've moved further into our transition to Evergreen, we've just started to use OCLC cataloguing (I've been waiting for the support contracts on our former ILS to expire to offset the OCLC costs). By "starting to use," I mean that we have an OCLC authorization. Prior to OCLC, we used Z39.50 with the LOC... which worked well. 
  
However, when do a Z39.50 search with OCLC, the "Results" section of the Evergreen Z39.50 screen says "Showing 0 Results of X", where X is greater than zero. So, it seems to be finding the records, but they are not displayed. Being a network guy, I did a packet trace at our firewall, and I can see the results coming back from OCLC (MARC records are present)... it's just that they aren't listed in the Evergreen interface. 
  
What am I missing? 
  
Thanks for nursing me along,
