Hi Jeffrey, David Parsell just gave a detailed and informative presentation about the z39.50 plugin at the Collective Imagination conference, outlining all he had to do to get the plugin to work successfully at Yale. I'm not sure if TMS SP3 makes any difference with the plugin. According to this morning's newsletter from GS, the conference presentation files will be made available on the GS Support site in the next couple weeks, so you can look for it there! b ~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~ Brenda Podemski Business Applications Administrator Collection Information & Access The J.

Does anyone have advice as to any subtleties that might make this application work better? We recently upgraded to TMS SP3, and I wonder if it doesn't work so well for that reason alone.
