The Texas Z39.50 Requirements and Specifications Project (1998-99)

This project brings together librarians from across Texas to identify requirements and agree on specification for using Z39.50. The result of this effort will be a Z39.50 profile. Implementations supporting this profile will provide users with better distributed access to Texas library catalogs and other resources. Moen developed a discussion paper for the participants of the organizational meeting (August 18, 1998 in Austin) of the Texas Z39.50 Implementors Group (TZIG). The Texas State Library is hosting the TZIG website <http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/LD/z3950/ >.
