Tuesday, 04 March 2008
The setting of the Z39.50 gate in different integrated library systems (ILS) varies slightly. Use the following information to properly configure your Z39.50 gate for the CGP (target):
  • Username: Z39
  • Password: found in the Z39.50 field of the User Details screen of the FDLD
  • Hostname: Z3950.catalog.gpo.gov (note: no period in Z3950)
  • GPO server port number ‘9991’
  • Database name ‘GPO01PUB’ (GPO zero one PUB)
You also need to map the “Bib-1” attributes that the CGP supports in your Z39.50 gate for the CGP target. If you have problems with the setting, you may need help from your ILS system staff. Or, ask your vendor for assistance.

For more information about the ‘Bib-1 Attributes Set’ see the Z39.50 Maintenance Agency (Library of Congress).
