Hello,

I am trying to do a batch Z39.50 search against LC's catalog using the LCCN as a search key. It seems like I should be able to do this using the custom search option, but I have not been able to figure out how to do it. 

If I don't put anything in the box by custom search, it seems to do some sort of keyword search that is resulting in false drops. I also tried entering 9 in the box, which I think is the use attribute for LCCN. If I do this, I get the message "The query requested is not valid or supported."

I don't have much experience with Z39.50. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks you.

Kelley
