http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4925 Summary: Remove Smithsonian as a delivered z39.50 target Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: HEAD Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 Component: Z39.50 / SRU / OpenSearch Servers AssignedTo: gmcharlt@gmail.com ReportedBy: jwagner@ptfs.com QAContact: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Estimated Hours: 0.0 I propose to remove Smithsonian Institution as a delivered sample z39.50 target for several reasons. Its collection would seem to be of limited utility for most libraries. Also, and more important, I spent a long time working with them on search problems a while back. Something has changed on their server which seems to require particular search attributes to be sent as part of the search. As it stands now in Koha, only a raw (keyword) search and an author search will produce any results. A title search fails unless it's the full, exact title -- no partial entries. ISBN/ISSN, subject headings, LC call number, and other searches all fail even if a known entry is sent. Koha is using title attr 1=4 for all z39.50 title search, as near as I can tell, and Smithsonian says they're set to use 44. Similar for subject -- Koha is set to 21 and Smithsonian is using 121. A manual yaz z39.50 search specifying the right attributes does work on Smithsonian, but changing them would screw up other z39.50 searches that are now working properly. Any objections to just removing Smithsonian from the list? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
