Default Values for New Connection Files

When creating a new connection file, a few basic search attributes are entered by default. It is not guaranteed that these will work, as each database may only support its own subset of the Z39.50 attributes.

Consult the Z39.50 client configuration instructions from your information provider or your librarian to set up the connection file correctly for the online database you want to access.

Default settings for a new connection file are:

Port ID: 210

Element Set Name: F (Full)

Record Syntax: MARC21

Text: ANSEL

Search Fields (Use Attributes): Any Field (1016), Author (1003), Year (31), Title (4), and Subject (21).
