| 00:09 | In this tutorial, we will learn how to add records in catalog by using Z39.50. |
| 00:20 | To record this tutorial, I am using Ubuntu Linux operating system 16.04 |

| 00:33 | Please ensure that your connected to the internet. |
| 00:38 | To follow this tutorial, learners should have knowledge of- Library Science, |

| 00:54 | To practice this tutorial, you should have Koha installed on your system. |
| 01:00 | And, you should also have Admin access in Koha. |
| 01:05 | For more details, please refer to the Koha Spoken Tutorial series on this website. |
| 01:13 | So, what is Z39.50? |
| 01:18 | Z39.50 is a client–server protocol for searching and retrieving information from remote computer databases.
In short, it is a tool used for copying Cataloging. |
| 01:37 | Let us begin.
First let me switch to the Koha interface and login as Superlibrarian, Bella. |
| 01:47 | On the Koha homepage, click on Koha administration. |
| 01:53 | On this page, scroll to the bottom and locate Additional parameters. |
| 01:59 | Then, click on Z39.50/SRU servers. |
| 02:07 | A new page Z39.50/SRU servers administration opens up. |
| 02:16 | There are two tabs here-+New Z39.50 server and +New SRU server. |
| 02:26 | Click on the tab +New Z39.50 server. |
| 02:32 | A new page opens with the title New Z39.50 server. |
| 02:40 | Note that in order to add target Z39.50 Server, we should know the target server details. |
| 02:51 | If you don't know any of the Z39.50 server details, you can find the list of Z39.50 servers on this URL. |
| 03:05 | The IRSpy page opens up, prompting us to fill in some details. |
| 03:12 | Let’s begin. |
| 03:14 | Leave the field (Anywhere) as blank. |
| 03:18 | For Name, I will type: Library of Congress. |
| 03:23 | This is because it is one of the biggest library and has a large bibliographical data. |
| 03:31 | Next, in the field for Country, from drop down select United States. |
| 03:38 | For Protocol, from the drop down select Z39.50. |
| 03:46 | You may fill in the rest of the details as per your requirements. |
| 03:51 | Then click on the Search button at the bottom of the page. |
| 03:57 | A new page opens with the search results. |
| 04:01 | A list of 9 libraries is displayed under various heads such as-
Title, Host Connection Reliability, Host, Port and DB. |
| 04:16 | These details will be used for filling in the details on the New Z39.50 server in Koha. |
| 04:26 | Note that you may see a different list of libraries which may be more than 10. |
| 04:32 | Remember, before adding any target Z39.50 server please ensure the Host Connection Reliability. |
| 04:43 | I will click on the Title : Library of Congress. |
| 04:48 | A new page with the heading Library of Congress, opens. |
| 04:54 | Keep this page open, as we will need the details on this page a little later. |
| 05:01 | Now, let us go back to the New Z39.50 server page that we had left open earlier in this tutorial. |
| 05:12 | and start filling in the necessary details on this page. |
| 05:17 | The details are in the Library of Congress page which we have kept open. |
| 05:23 | So let’s start. |
| 05:25 | On the New Z39.50 server page, for Server name, type Library of Congress. |
| 05:34 | This detail is from the section Name, in the Library of Congress page. |
| 05:41 | I have filled in a few other details on the New Z39.50 server page which I had noted from the Library of Congress page. |
| 05:54 | You may pause the video and fill in the details as per your requirements. |
| 06:01 | Please note that the fields marked in red are mandatory. |
| 06:06 | Next, we see the check-box Preselected (searched by default). |
| 06:12 | Click this if you want the database of this particular library to be searched always, by default.
I will leave it unchecked. |
| 06:23 | Now we come to the field for Rank (display order).
If you want this library to be listed at the top of the list of Libraries, then enter 1 here. |
| 06:37 | Note that if you want to add multiple z39.50 targets you can arrange them as per the rank. |
| 06:47 | For Syntax, from the drop down, I will select MARC21/USMARC.
You may choose any Syntax as per your requirement. |
| 07:00 | For Encoding, Koha by default, selects utf8.
I will leave it as it is. |
| 07:08 | But you may select any other value as per your requirement. |
| 07:14 | Next is Time out (0 its like not set). |
| 07:20 | Here, type the number of seconds that you wish to wait for the results to appear.
I will enter 240. |
| 07:32 | For Record type, Koha by default, auto selects Bibliographic.
On doing so, each record will have a Bibliographic detail. |
| 07:44 | After all details are filled in, click on the Save button at the bottom of the page. |
| 07:51 | The page Z39.50/SRU servers administration opens again. |
| 08:00 | We can see the details that were added under different headings, on this page. |
| 08:06 | Now, to search records from this library, go to the Koha homepage
and click on Cataloging. |
| 08:16 | A new page with two options opens.
+New record and New from Z39.50/SRU. |
| 08:29 | Go to the New from Z39.50/SRU and from the drop-down select BOOKS. |
| 08:40 | A new window Z39.50/SRU search opens. |
| 08:48 | Locate the field Search targets at the extreme right side of the page. |
| 08:54 | Here, you can see the Z39.50 target that we had added earlier in this tutorial.
i.e. LIBRARY OF CONGRESS. |
| 09:07 | Now, click on the check-box adjacent to LIBRARY OF CONGRESS. |
| 09:14 | On the left side of the same page is Z39.50/SRU search with various fields. |
| 09:25 | Among these fields, locate Title and type: Clinical Microbiology. |
| 09:33 | You may fill in the rest of fields if you wish to.
I will leave them as blank. |
| 09:40 | Now click on the Search button at the bottom of the page. |
| 09:46 | Before clicking however, please ensure that you are connected to the internet. |
| 09:52 | Another new page Results opens, showing details with the heading :
Server, Title, Author, Date, Edition, ISBN, LCCN, MARC and Card. |
| 10:11 | Now, go to the extreme right side of the page and locate the field Import. |
| 10:18 | I will click on Import for the field Title: Clinical Microbiology. |
| 10:25 | You may click on Import for any other Title as per your requirement. |
| 10:32 | When Import is clicked, a new window named Add MARC record opens. |
| 10:39 | You will see some of the tags that have been imported from the Library of Congress database. |
| 10:47 | But, the blank fields for the respective tags have to be filled by you, as per your requirements. |
| 10:55 | Recall, we have filled in the details of this page in an earlier tutorial. |
| 11:02 | Pause the video and fill the details. |
| 11:06 | After filling in the details, click on Save button at the top of the page. |
| 11:13 | A new page Items for Clinical microbiology by Ross, Philip W. opens. |
| 11:22 | Now, click on the Add item button at the bottom of the page. |
| 11:28 | The page Items for Clinical microbiology by Ross, Philip W. opens. |
| 11:36 | With this, we have successfully imported the details of the book Clinical microbiology from the Library of Congress into Koha. |
