Re: [CODE4LIB] yaz-client
Thank you for the replies, and after a bit of investigation I learned that I
don’t need to do authentication because the vendor does IP authentication.
Nice! On the other hand, I was still not able to resolve my original problem.
I needed/wanted to download ten’s of thousands, if not hundred’s of thousands
of citations for text mining analysis. The Web interface to the database/index
limits output to 4,000 items and selecting the set of these items is beyond
tedious — it is cruel and unusual punishment. I then got the idea of using
EndNote’s z39.50 client, and after a bit of back forth I got it working, but
the downloading process was too slow. I then got the bright idea of writing my
own z39.50 client (below). Unfortunately, I learned that the 4,000 record limit
is more than that. A person can only download the first 4,000 records in a
found set. Requests for record 4001, 4002, etc. fail. This is true in my
locally written client as well as in EndNote.
Alas, it looks as if I am unable to download the data I need/require, unless
somebody at the vendor give me a data dump. On the other hand, since my locally
written client is so short and simple, I think I can create a Web-based
interface to query many different z39.50 targets and provide on-the-fly text
mining analysis against the results.
In short, I learned a great many things.

What about querying the database with many different words you get from a dictionnary, get 4000 records, and dedup the results ? That would probably not give you the whole database, but you can get a large part of it isn't it ? (and that's probably not very fair to overload the vendor with zillions of queries.

I'd suggest contacting the vendor. Whoever handles your the electronic
subscriptions will have some relationship with a customer rep. Explain what
you're trying to do and you might get the customer rep to advocate for you.

Re: [CODE4LIB] yaz-client
When we have patrons that try to download tens or hundreds of thousands
of pages -- not uncommonly, the vendor has software that notices the
'excessive' use, sends us an email reminding us that bulk downloading
violates our terms of service, and temporarily blacklists the IP address
(which could become more of a problem as we move to NAT/PAT where
everyone appears to the external internet as one of only a few external
IPs).
Granted, these users are usually downloading actual PDFs, not just
citations. I'm not really sure if when they are doing it for personal
research of some kind, or when they are doing it to share with off-shore
'pirate research paper' facilities (I'm not even making that up), but
the volume of use that triggers the vendors notices is such that it's
definitely an automated process of some kind, not just someone clicking
a lot.
Bulk downloading from our content vendors is usually prohibited by their
terms of service. So, beware.
