Notes

  • Record number searches: enter the record number without check digit
  • Authority records: Not covered by Z39.50; retrieval is not possible, therefore, searches that contain Authority records produce a different result set than the same search done using Millennium's native interface.
  • "See" and "See also": Millennium native searches report the number of "entries"retrieved. Included in this number are entries for cross-references -- both "See" and "See also" references. Millenium's Z39.50 server will attempt to filter out these references, hence the Z39.50 server will report a different number of "entries" or "records" retrieved than Millenium's OPAC will. However, it is not able to filter out all of these references when the Z39.50 server reports on the entries retrieved, since it may be necessary to physically examine the individual records to determine whether they are references or Bibliographic records. This is particularly true when a large number of "entries" are retrieved. Thus, a request from a Z39.50 client for entries 1021-1028 out of a set of 1030 entries may not produce the expected eight Bibliographic records.
