Z39.50 searches can take long when many different targets are consulted. The
interactive process can be counter-productive in these circumstances. I wonder
therefore if you too find batch Z39.50 searches an interesting idea: The user
would be able to enter ISBNs (or other similar search terms) in a table, and
koha would perform searches against Z39.50 targets in batch mode, either in the
background, or semi-interactively, i.e. by taking-up a browser window. Search
elements already processed, would be removed from the table, so that the user
would be aware when the search is complete for each item. The user would also
be able to add more search terms at the bottom of the list, even when the batch
search is active.  Search results would be stored in an appropriate container
(the “reservoir” perhaps) and koha cataloguing (cataloguing/addbooks.pl ?)
would be amended to allow for searches against this container too.
