 ====== Z39.50======
 **[[http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/|Z39.50]]** is an international client/server protocol for searching bibliographic data. It can use the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), which makes the databases on a server available from almost anywhere around the globe. It is widely used, for example, in on-line library catalogues. It allows a user to search one or more databases and retrieve the results of the query.

 Once Greenstone 2 has Z39.50 support compiled in, it can act as a client to multiple z39.50 servers. The file ''Greenstone/etc/packages/z3950/z3950.cfg'' specifies a list of servers to connect to. By default, no servers are set up, although the config file comes with one (commented out) example Z39.50 server, for the United States' Library of Congress.
