How do I set up a Z39.50 connection to WMS from ILLiad?

Applies to

• ILLiad

Resolution

1. Open the ILLiad Customization Manager.
2. Click the Z39.50 tab.
3. Click the New drop-down and choose "Other."
4. The database name will have your institution's registry ID at the end, for example, Z39WMS~1234. You will need a WSKey and your WSKey secret for the username and password.
5. Server: unified.z3950.oclc.org
   Port: 210
   DBName: Z39WMS~1234
   Username: [Your new wskey]
   Password: [Your new secret]
6. Your server will have to be on the version of ILLiad released on 14 June 2023 (9.2.1) Database.  It increases the size of the username and password field to hold the WSKey and Secret. If you are not on that version, request a server update from OCLC Support.
