CGP Z39.50 Update

Library Services and Content Management (LCSM), with the assistance of volunteer libraries in the FDLP, tested Z39.50 access through the Catalog of U.S. Government Publications (CGP) earlier this spring. Several volunteers commented that they would like to be able to retrieve bibliographic records from the CGP using the GPO item number. In order for the GPO item number to be a Z39.50 attribute, GPO needed to submit a proposal to the Library of Congress, Network Development and MARC Standards Office for review and approval. The proposal submitted by GPO can be reviewed on the Library of Congress' Web site.

Approval is expected after October 10th.
