Hi
Apologies for cross-postings...
Particularly since the setting up of the eLib phase 3 projects, the need
for a list to support Z39.50 *users* has become apparent. Users in this
context are libraries, information providers and others who are using
existing software products such as WebZ, GeoWeb, Europagate etc to build
services, acknowledging there may be more involved than 'plug and play':-)
So it is envisaged that discussion will be fairly technical, although
including relevant announcements etc. Topics might include profile issues,
and in particular the MODELS Profile.
We have therefore renamed the existing uk-zig as uk-zug. Since the main
zig list <[log in to unmask]> provides a discussion forum for people
writing target and origin software and developing the actual standard, a
parallel uk-zig list was not very useful.
The need for uk-zug has been discussed and agreed on lis-elib-managers
recently. But since there is of course a lot of UK Z39.50 activity going
on outside eLib, it was felt that a general list would be of most benefit.
If you would like to join, please send the following command as the only
text in the body of a message, to [log in to unmask]:

Cheers, Rosemary
