Title

Selecting a Z39.50 client or Web gateway

Source

Abstract

Presents a range of evaluation criteria in the selection of a Z39.50 client and poses questions that should be asked when reviewing and testing end user products. The areas for consideration include whether to buy or build a Z39.50 client, the end user's requirements, connecting to a remote server, searching, managing the search response, Z39.50 services, the vendor, and testing. As some knowledge of the Z39.50 standard is helpful in the selection process and contributes to an understanding of how a Z39.50 client works, brief descriptions of some of the major aspects of Z39.50 are included
