- Abstract
- The State Library of Iowa, USA, received a Higher Education Act title II grant from the US Dept. of Education in 1994 to create a demonstration project of new library information technologies. Describes 2 interlinked components of the project: Web-based union catalogue development and statewide deployment of the ANSI/NISO Z39.50 standard for database search and retrieval. Z39.50 was chosen because of its ability to searching multiple remote databases in a single session and its common interface across a variety of implementations. Use of a distributed Z39.50 search makes the need for maintaining large union catalogues unnecessary
