Exporting records Perhaps the most disappointing feature of ZNavigator is the fact that you cannot export a MARC format record to a file. You can drop text versions of the records into folders but this is of far less value than the full MARC record. The actual format is of translated MARC tags with subfield codes but no indicators neither fish nor fowl. Apparently MARC export could be added easily and when a 32bit version is released commercially this may be part of the product. There is a useful session status command which will show you, when on-line to a server, which version of Z39.50 and which features are supported.
Access control is implemented so passwords can be saved against individual servers.
Although a little less intuitive than the BookWhere product, ZNavigator performed well at the basic search level and the simple query facility is good for doing quick searches. I would love an algebraic query interface though or a re-think on the existing complex search interface. Settings The setting of preferences on the system could do with some improvement. Having to edit config. Hosts Hosts can be grouped usefully and then all hosts in a group opened simultaneously but in separate Windows.
