About Z39.50 Clients
If you wish to search the Legislative Library of British Columbia
catalogue and download the Library's MARC records you will need to
set up Z39.50 Client software and configure it to work with the

does not provide this software. Check with your library system
vendor to see if they offer a Z39.50 client or use one of the
standalone products. The settings
you will need to connect to and search the Legislative Library are
outlined below.
