Dear Freinds,

Please let me know about the concept of "Z-Cataloguing".

Z'Catalog is a tool which lists all the databases in your Pilot's permanent storage. This includes both data and applications, as well as subsidiary information like preferences and libraries.

 

You can sort the list of databases by name, type, creator, size, and so on. You can also filter the list -- that is, display only databases which match a specific criterion.

You can beam any of these databases to another Pilot. This is a great convenience. When you beam an application with the standard beaming tool, none of its associated data files go with it. With Z'Catalog, you can beam any file you want.

Z'Catalog also lets you delete any database, and edit some of their properties -- names, types, and flags.


Thnx Archana. Pls giv one example of application of Z cataloguing in our practical field.
Z39.50 (also known as Rapid Entry or Z cataloguing) allows you to search remote databases such as SCIS for library records through your Library Management System (LMS) and then import individual records directly into your LMS.

I think-

In the open source Integrated  library system (ILS) software (like kOHA). There is a provision for taking catalogs for a book from the remote databases round the globe( if the  book is catalogued in that database).It is  just like  importing the cataloge (bibliographic) data in to the user's system .which (importing bibliographic data/catalogue) helps to save the time and stop the duplication of the work.This is just like to take a copy of the catalog from other database to your your own library system/catalogue/ database.But this is possible if the database (from which you import the data/"source" for you) uses the Z39.50 protocol or if it is a Z39.50 server. in simple words the term Z- comes from the Z39.50. one can catalogue many books in a less time so it is called Rapid entry or Cataloguing. Z is actually taken from the Libray of Congress catalog(LCC) where Z symbolizes bibliography,Library science class, SCIS web database which is mentioned in the discussion by Mr. Saikat Goswami .

 you should know more about it from the Professionals.

Thank you Goswami sir ,Archna ma'am. for their valuable reply.

Thnx for your valuable reply.It is so easy to understand as u defined the matter.
