RLUK_Mike: David Prosser - other major themes, adapting the #UKRR for monographs, addressing a digital surrogate register for the UK #rluksafe
RLUK_Mike: RT @speccollbrad: Hard at work on #rluk #oclc survey - I'm commenting on #borndigital bit - well, I like a challenge!
RLUK_Mike: David Prosser: some key themes - the necessity not just the choice of collaboration; advocacy; evidence (metadata & case studies) #rluksafe
RLUK_Mike: Would a next generation solution be 2 rapidly digitize title pages & use visual pattern recognition 2 deduplicate our collections? #rluksafe
RLUK_Mike: How should we take the #rluksafe work forward: can we expect a top-down model or are we the community the likely operative force here?

Z39.50 Client Configuration
| Address: | rluk.mimas.ac.uk |
|---|---|
| Port: | 210 |
| Database name: | marc8, utf8, dedup-marc8, dedup-utf8, dedupmarc8, deduputf8 |
| Record syntax: | MARC21 |
Some client systems do not allow hyphens in the database name, hence the hyphen-less variants for the de-duplicated database names.
Setting the database name to utf8 will cause the server to return all records in Unicode UTF-8. Any records stored in the database encoded as MARC-8 will be converted to Unicode before being sent.
Likewise setting the database name to marc8 will cause the server to return all records in the MARC8 (the traditional) encoding scheme. Any records stored in the database as Unicode will be converted to MARC8 before being sent.
Using the "dedup-" prefix on the database name causes results sets to be de-duplicated according to the preferences set for your institution.
General Guidelines
- The following characters are indexed: # ♭ & + - . @ _ | 0-9 A-Z (plus digits, letters and ideographs in all non-Roman scripts).
- Indexes are case insensitive.
- Punctuation marks, in all scripts, are not indexed. Exception: FULL STOP is indexed.
- Diacritical marks, in all scripts, are not indexed.
- Symbols are not indexed. Exception: # ♭ & + - @ _ | are indexed.
- A small number of characters are mapped to one or more similar characters.
- Search terms can be either plain ASCII, Latin-1, MARC8 or UTF-8 (the server will do its best to work out which character set is being used.) The character set of the returned records is determined by the database name (see table above.)
