III, Z39.50, BIP and holdings

["Alicia Abramson" <aabramson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have seen messages previously questioning whether anyone has been able to make the BIP Z39.50 "Hooks to Holdings" feature work, but I haven't actually seen any one confirm that in fact when they configure that feature on their BIP account, using the settings recommended in the III literature, that anyone actually gets holdings information returned to BIP.

Specifically, do you get Location, Call Number and Status to display on BIP if your library owns that item?  The III literature says that it does return this information in OPAC requests, but I have not been able to make this work.  

BIP can display whether or not we own the title, but not what its call number is, its location or status.  

I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who actually sees the Call Number, Location and Status fields in BIP when using the "Search My Library" feature.

Our Z39.50 server is set to return "OPAC" records.  On the BIP side, we use the following settings:

Location Name: Berkeley Public Library
Address of Local Z39.50 Server: 63.205.91.227
Server Port for Z39.50: 210
Z39.50 Database Name: INNOPAC
