Z-directory

UK Z39.50 directory

UKOLN

In light of the cessation of core funding for the Innovation Support Centre at UKOLN after 31 July 2013 we are providing notification of the planned withdrawal of this service after 31 April 2013.

Z-directory provides information about Z39.50 targets in the UK. It is intended to support the configuration of Z39.50 clients and facilitate connection to UK services. All UK organisations with Z39.50 targets are encouraged to register their services.

Please register your UK target now!

When you click "Add" we will record your details in the Z-directory. Simultaneously we will interogate your target to try and determine the Z39.50 services it supports.

Based on this we will automatically create an ExplainLite record for your target. Once the ExplainLite is created you will be able to view it by clicking on your service name in the directory. The link will not be live until the ExplainLite has been generated.

If our robot encounters errors while attempting to contact your service, "[error]" will appear next to your service. Please check that the hostname, port number and database name are correct. If they are then please contact support@ukoln.ac.uk. Note that if your Z39.50 target is behind a firewall then our robot will not be able to interrogate it.


Other Z39.50 directories

Several other services provide information about targets in other countries:
