Hi Travis

Are you using your OCLC autho and password for the z39.50 search?  I'm 
cc'ing Aaron Smith on this email (our OCLC support guru for Michigan 
libraries).  If you'd like, you can call him directly at our 800# (ext. 
140) to see if he can walk you through it.

FYI, Ruth

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] OCLC Z39.50



Hello,
 
As we've moved further into our transition to Evergreen, we've just 
started to use OCLC cataloguing (I've been waiting for the support 
contracts on our former ILS to expire to offset the OCLC costs). By 
"starting to use," I mean that we have an OCLC authorization. Prior to 
OCLC, we used Z39.50 with the LOC... which worked well.
 
However, when do a Z39.50 search with OCLC, the "Results" section of the 
Evergreen Z39.50 screen says "Showing 0 Results of X", where X is greater 
than zero. So, it seems to be finding the records, but they are not 
displayed. Being a network guy, I did a packet trace at our firewall, and 
I can see the results coming back from OCLC (MARC records are present)... 
it's just that they aren't listed in the Evergreen interface.
 
What am I missing?
 
Thanks for nursing me along,
