Abstract

Librarians have become necessarily concerned with the problems that attend connecting computers, terminals, and other devices arrayed across networks. This concern extends to the problem of establishing standards that enable libraries using different processors and different operating systems to connect their computers and share services in meaningful ways. Of the standards being developed specificaly for libraries, the most important is American National Standard Z39.50: Information Retrieval Service Definition and Protocol Specification for Library Applications (Z39.50), which was first set forth in 1988, and subsequently revised by the National Information Standards Organization (NISO). The article examines the content and status of Z39.50, and related work. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
