Hi Nathan, The demo at http://kubrick.no-ip.info/opac/opac.php is searching against an III target, using the 'opac' record syntax to pull back item-level holdings info. I'd be happy to share the code -- in fact, I plan to package it up when I get a chance and post it on my site. The only outstanding problem is handling diacritics properly but it works otherwise.

What I'm wondering is whether Z39.50 would allow me to query our III database and receive an item's status information. And if yes, then what the technologies and/or steps involved would be (broadly speaking). Our III database definitely accepts Z39.50 queries, but I've haven't made use of this in an external application before. The application that I'm developing uses Rails & MySQL running on a Windows 2003 Server. Does anyone have any ideas about this?
