Aleph Update: Z39.50 access to OCLC Institution Record database

OCLC has made their Institution Record database accessible through Z39.50. This database can only be searched by OCLC number or holdings symbol. If you wish to access this database via Z39.50, please have a Technical Services manager submit a request to the Aleph Support Center: http://hul.harvard.edu/ois/systems/aleph/forms/f-supp-cat.html

Please note that according to OCLC, when you search WorldCat via Z39.50, the system also looks at data in the institution records, but only the master records are returned.

Thank you,
