Simmons is a III-based library. I'm in the midst of developing an application that uses a subset of our records that I've exported via creating a list and then pushing it into a MySQL database. We did not purchase the XMLServer module during the time that it was available, and so I don't have that as an option for querying our III database. What I'm wondering is whether Z39.50 would allow me to query our III database and receive an item's status information. And if yes, then what the technologies and/or steps involved would be (broadly speaking). Our III database definitely accepts Z39.50 queries, but I've haven't made use of this in an external application before. The application that I'm developing uses Rails & MySQL running on a Windows 2003 Server. Does anyone have any ideas about this?
