EOS.Web provides access to other library systems using Version 3
of the Z39.50 protocol. The Z39.50 Client includes the ability for
library OPAC users to search other Z39.50-compliant library databases
using the EOS.Web OPAC.
Libraries can define host sites and databases available to their staff (in
Powersearch) and/or to the public (via the OPAC) using a Z39.50 Setup function.
OPAC users can select any combination of Z39.50 sites and perform a single
search for materials at all of the selected sites. Record retrievals display
in a consolidated list with each separate database clearly identified.
