Re: [IUG] Library of Congress Z39.50 parameters

["Barbara J. Laub" <blaub at maplewoodlibrary dot org>]

I contacted the help desk on this issue last night, and can also confirm
that it is a result of LC changing their IP address.  Using the domain name
of z3950.loc.gov instead of the IP address resolves the issue.

Best regards,

Barbara

I want to follow up on this since I got a call from the III help desk this
morning.  If you are having this problem, one thing that you might want to
check is how your Z39.50 Client is configured to connect to the LC resource.
The library of congress upgraded their server this week (I was at an RLG
tools meeting on Wed. where a member of LC's team had mentioned that this
was coming) or late last week and as a result, their IP address has likely
changed.  So, if you're Innovative Z39.50 Client is attempting to connect to
the LC Z39.50 server via IP address -- it likely will no longer work.  If,
however, you use the DNS
(z3950.loc.gov) then you shouldn't have any problems.
