Abstract

The British Library is currently progressing several projects involving Z39.50 and SR standards. The Network OPAC trial service is being extended for a further year and the user base broadened. Future applications of Z39.50 currently being investigated include access from Z39.50 clients developed by other suppliers; a ‘virtual’ database to cover all the Library's diverse catalogues; a national distributed bibliographic database.
