Re: [CODE4LIB] Open Source ERM

A couple of months ago our organization began looking at new ERM solutions / link resolvers, so I thought I'd share my thoughts based on my research of the topic. Unfortunately, I think this is one area where open source offerings are a bit thin. Many offerings look promising at first but are

Re: [CODE4LIB] or queries against Horizon Z39.50 servers?

Ah, interesting trick! Unfortunately, it doesn't work either (although it doesn't explode, it just returns zero hits). I suspect you're right about the server not being configured to support booleans, which would be a shame. -Ross. On Sep 20, 2013, at 2:22 PM, LeVan,Ralph le...@oclc.org

[CODE4LIB] or queries against Horizon Z39.50 servers?

2013-09-20 Thread Ross Singer

I can't say anything about the horizon server. But I have a suggestion. It's possible that server is configured to not support Booleans (either on that index or at all) and is blowing the trivial error response. If this is the case, there may be a workaround. Instead of explicitly ORing them

I'm involved in the GOKb project, and also a related project in the UK called 'KB+' which is a national service providing a knowledgebase and the ability to manage subscriptions/licences. As Adam said - GOKb is definitely more of a service, although the software could be run by anyone it isn't
