Z39.50 Hosts

The Insignia Library System has a seamlessly integrated interface that allows patrons to search any library in the world that is Z39.50 compliant. The Insignia Library System comes with predefined libraries that are Z39.50 compliant. Staff can add more libraries of their choice. Technically, there is no limit to the number of libraries you can search, but it is recommended the number be reasonable. If there are too many libraries and you select all, then undue stress may be applied to your network. Before you can enter another library for Z39.50 search, you will need the following information:

• 
  IP address
  
• 
  Port number
  
• 
  Database name
  
• 
  User ID and password (if any required)
  
•
