Z3950 International co-operation

Dear Subscribers,

I am about to undertake a very large bibliographical search for printed
books and manuscripts from c. 1470 to c.1800 on a particular subject. I have
all of the keywords and authors names etc. which I will use.

I would like to carry out this search using all the major on-line catalogues
of all the major European and American research libraries, e.g Library of
Congress, Vaticano (Rome), Bibliotheque Nationale (Paris), British LIbrary,
Bodleian, Berlin Munich etc....

I would like to be able to export all of the references (INCLUDING THEIR
SHELFMARKS) I find in all of these catalogues into a database - probably
Procite, or possibly Endnote.

I would be extremely grateful for any comments and suggestions any memebers
feel they can make which might help make this easier on everyone involved.

In particular I am thinking it might be a good idea to have a contact with
someone conversant with Z39.50 in each of the major research libraires of
the world.

thank you

Martin Porter
