This document provides information about searching for library staff who help plan the configuration of the library's Z39.50 client. It also helps those who train or supervise staff who will use the OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging service.
For OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging, searching methods are determined by the capabilities of the OCLC server and by the implementation of the capabilities in your library's local system client. For example, the server makes several indexes available for searching. The library decides which indexes its client will support and how staff will use them.
The Configuration guide for OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging also contains information about the server's searching capabilities.
For information describing MARC record structure, character sets, and exchange media formatting, see OCLC-MARC Records.
SCIPIO: Art and Rare Book Sales Catalog. This database is the only online union catalog of auction catalog records in existence. These records have been loaded into WorldCat. To search for only SCIPIO records, just search as you normally would and add the Authentication Code index with “scipio” to your search.
In addition to OLUCWorldCat, you can use the OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging service to search these OCLC databases:

Depending upon your client, separate sessions may be required for each database.
The indexes provided by the server are listed in the section below about MARC fields and subfields indexed.
Most indexes in OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging are word or phrase indexes. The following examples highlight the differences between them:
The OCLC server supports the Z39.50 Scan Service capability. If your client supports that capability, you can browse indexes to view a list of the words or phrases included. When you want to use a phrase index, OCLC recommends browsing it first to verify the phrase before searching.
In word indexes. Stopwords (listed below) are words that are not included in word indexes because they occur frequently and do not add to the content of the indexes. Exclude stopwords from searches in word indexes. If you include a stopword in a word index search, the server returns an error message.
In phrase indexes. Include stopwords in searches of phrase indexes. However, exclude a, an, or the when it is the first word of a title.
a | for | in | she | was |
an | from | into | so | were |
and | had | is | than | when |
are | has | it | that | which |
as | have | its | the | with |
at | he | not | their | would |
be | her | of | there | you |
but | his | on | this | |
by | if | or | to |
Include the following letters, digits, punctuation marks, and symbols in searches:
You do not need to capitalize names or other proper nouns in searches. All letters are treated as lowercase whether you enter them as lowercase or uppercase.
Exclude hyphens when they are preceded and followed by blank spaces. Include them within words, such as high-energy. Search for hyphenated words in various ways. For example: post operative, post-operative, postoperative.
When an ampersand (&) is preceded and followed by blank spaces, exclude it in word indexes but include it in phrase indexes. Include ampersands within words in word or phrase indexes. For example, enter at&t.
Substitute a space for a / (slash). For example, enter men women instead of men/women.
Exclude other punctuation marks and symbols. Do not substitute a space for them. For example, to search for O'Hara, enter ohara.
When searching for International Standard Serial Numbers (ISSNs), International Standard Book Numbers (ISBNs), and Library of Congress Control Numbers (LCCNs), use the following rules:
Music number searching has been normalized. Data is concatenated up to parentheses, periods and dashes ( “ab(123)”, “ab.123”, and “ab-123” are all searchable as “ab123”). Each music number up to a comma is indexed alone. All letters of your search term are significant and should be included. The maximum number of valid numbers per record is 20.
Dewey Decimal classification indexes use only the subject portion of the call numbers assigned. Decimal points are retained. Concatenate all spaces and ignore all punctuations except periods.
For example, to search for the subject Manned space flight, enter: 629.45.
Library of Congress classification indexes use only the subject portion of the call numbers assigned. Zero ranging has been eliminated. Only subfield a of the classification number is searchable. For example “QA74.M7” can now only be accessed under “QA74”.
Delete all punctuation and spaces to search government document numbers.
For example, to search for Y 4.P 96/10:N 81 d, enter: y4p9610n81d
Each part of a subject heading is indexed as a separate phrase. For example, Ireland--History--Civil War, 1922-1923 is indexed as the following phrases:
Right truncation is supported for subject heading phrases.
Omit initial articles (a, an, the, and the non-English equivalents) from your title search.
The title and subtitle (subfields a and b of the 245 field) are combined and indexed as a single phrase. For example, Around the majors in 60 days : my baseball dream is indexed as around the majors in 60 days my baseball dream. Because right truncation is supported for title phrases, you can enter around the majors to search for this title and others that begin around the majors, if right truncation is set.
If your client supports the Z39.50 Scan Service, you can browse indexes to view a list of the words or phrases included. OCLC recommends browsing the title phrase index before searching to verify the phrase to use.
When searching a subject phrase index for records describing materials about an author (or any person), enter the last name first and then the first name. Do not enter a comma after the last name.
When searching an author phrase index for records describing materials by an author, enter the last name first, a comma, and then the first name.
If your client supports the Z39.50 Scan Service, you can browse indexes to view a list of the words or phrases included. OCLC recommends browsing the author phrase index before searching to verify the phrase to use.
When you browse an author phrase index, last names that begin with the same word are listed in the following order:
For example, the following names would appear in the order shown below:
You can enter a date of sale as a single day (month-day-year or month-year) or as a date range.
Note: The Update Date does not display in the record. The 005 field displays the current date and time.
For each index, the table below lists the combinations of Use and Structure attributes used to access the index through the OCLC Z39.50 server. The table also lists the MARC fields and subfields covered by the index. Where "word" is valid as a structure attribute, "word list" is valid as well.
Please note that WorldCat indexing does not directly follow the Bib-1 attribute set and there may be local differences between what OCLC has mapped and the Bib-1 attribute set available on the Library of Congress Z39.50 Maintenance Agency Page.

Z39.50 users can see other institutions' specific holdings in full records only via multiple 948 fields. To view holdings, users must configure their service for either Element Set Name FD (view default holdings) or Element Set Name FA (view all holdings). The resulting records will have the same display as Element Set Name F but with holdings.
Note: Holdings display is not available for Element Set Names F1, F2, F3 (non-Latin data).
See Configuration guide for OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging for additional information.
When you choose default holdings, the default is determined as follows:
If... | Then... |
---|---|
More than 20 libraries hold the item and 10 or more of them are in your location (U.S. state, Canadian province, other country, or other continent). | The system displays holdings information for libraries in your location. |
More than 20 libraries hold the item and fewer than 10 of them are in your location, but 10 or more of them are in your region. | The system displays holdings information for libraries in your region. For more information about regions, see Regional Groupings in Library Holdings Display. |
20 or fewer libraries hold the item or more than 20 libraries hold the item, but fewer than 10 of them are in your location or region. | The system displays all holdings information. |
The 948 fields are configured as follows:
Subfield... | Contains |
---|---|
a | ISO country code |
b | U.S. state or Canadian province information; for all other countries this field is not included |
c | OCLC institution symbol |
d | Library name |
The 948 fields are listed alphabetically by library name.
Examples:
Note: Widely-held items with large numbers of 948 fields may produce records too large for some Z39.50 clients to display.
Z39.50 Cataloging supports non-Latin scripts using either the MARC-8 or the UTF-8 Unicode character sets (see MARC-8 note).
Four options are available. Note that fields may have a different overall appearance and 880 fields may not display in your particular Z39.50 client. See Configuration guide for OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging for details on selecting an option..
Note: All records shown are MARC-8.
Note: When the MARC-8 default is retained, UTF-8 Unicode characters that cannot be converted to MARC-8 are displayed as hexadecimal numeric character references
