Integrating Z39.50/SR into LIBERTAS

SLS has been involved in the development of the SR/Z39.50 protocol via the UK Pre‐Implementors‘ Group. It is one of the first UK companies to offer a Z39.50 client. This article concentrates on the impact of users’ needs on the design of the client. There is also a short section on SLS' Z39.50 server, which was launched in January 1995; a local database server will be made available in Summer 1995, which will allow LIBERTAS customers to open up access to their own bibliographic records via Z39.50/SR.
