Import from Italian Library National Service

Whenever I want to import a record from the SBN Opac, LT presents me only an item, however indicating the total number, in the result of the search. And it obviously allows me to import only this book.
While trying with other search options this problem of truncating the selectable results does not occur.
Thanks in advance.

Italian National Library Service = opac.sbn.it:3950/nopac
I just get timeout error, not even a single book.

Searching for "bible" from inside the LT interface, gives "Error: system error".

>1 benedetto.abate: Could you give us an example that results in a result?

It looks like the port number changed for SBN. I've updated it. Please test again.

I still can't get it to return anything but an error message. According to this 3950 or 2100 should both work. Maybe they are just taking a break? :-) (BTW, their web search looks excellent! And functioning, and quick)

OPAC SBN (On line Public Access Catalog of National Library Service) provides access to 18.979.834 bibliographic records, complete with 108.375.292 locations
(Updated 31/01/2022)
Z39.50 access to the opac SBN.

Target configuration:
Address: opac.sbn.it
Port: 2100 or 3950
DB Name: nopac
Record syntax: SUTRS, UNIMARC o MARC21 (on either ports)
attributes set: Bib-1 (part of)
character-set: UTF-8

I just tried it. It seems to work using the ISBN as the search term, but not if I use the title.

It definitely was working with ISBN when I changed the port number to 2100. Port 3950 wasn't working when I tried ISBN.

>5 lilithcat: Searching for one of my books on Roma: 8845179532 works.

I use a lot Italian National Library Service as a source for adding books, but I always search for ISBN so I never noticed this bug - one result is usually enough :-)

I just tried with my name-and-surname: https://opac.sbn.it/opacsbn/opac/iccu/free.jsp returns 18 results for Maurizio Codogno, LT gives only one - https://www.librarything.com/work/27708006/book/212060225 - which by the way does not even contain "Maurizio". Still worse, a search for "codogno" alone returns 0 results. There is something wrong: unfortunately I don't know anything about the API for the system. If really necessary, I can hunt for somebody knowledgeable, but I don't guarantee anything.

For example, my next book in LT:
Tu mi scruti e mi conosci / Carlo Maria Martini

SBN Opac shows 13 results searching by title

Lt input search:
ISBN: 1 result --> 1 book importable (1985 edition)
"Tu mi scruti e mi conosci": 13 results --> 1 wrong book importable
"Tu mi scuti e mi conosci" Martini: 10 results --> 1 book importable (2008 edition)
"Tu mi scruti" Martini: 10 results --> 1 book importable (1999 edition)

>8 .mau.: I often get several results for a single ISBN number, so always just getting one result would make me suspicious :-)

>10 bnielsen: it could happen if for example two different libraries added the work independently , but from my own point of view (I just need a base source) it is not useful.

Adding books from Italian National Library Service still not working.
I can't identify the cause. Is there anyone who can ask technical help to egidio.incelli@cultura.gov.it or mariacristina.mataloni@cultura.gov.it?
Thx!

>12 francobes: I'll email them to see if they have any ideas that can help.

>13 kristilabrie: Great. Thank you!

Kristi contacted them and their server is up and running. I tried with some searches in yaz-client and they worked.

I'm suspecting I may need to adjust the configuration on the LT side to use a different index.

I will try that next - I suspect we'll get it working.

Ok I think it's working now - forcing it to use the "ti" index which is about as close as we can get to keyword.

Also setting "present chunk" to true - and this one is not exposed in the Edit Library Sources interface so I had to do that one manually. (Maybe it should be.)

>16 ccatalfo: (Maybe it should be.) Yes probably. Getting a few more parameters exposed might help us figure out some weird problems rather than just yell for you to come to the rescue :-)

(Hmm. Note to self: I have some old perl script I use for connecting, but I might have yaz-client installed too?

Yes. yaz-client was installed. Maybe it was put aside last time because I don't speak fluent yaz? :-)

>17 bnielsen: Yeah, let me see if I can get that "present chunk" setting working in the Edit Library Sources interface. I did a quick check and out of several thousand libraries we have that flag set only for 156. So a pretty small percentange -- but sometimes it's just not going to work without that. So, yeah.

I am not sure if it is better to reopen that bug or start a new one: please tell me what's better.

Anyway, I just tried to search for 9788829012671 on Italian SBN (Servizio Bibliotecario Nazionale, National Library Service) and I got 30938 results. Searching in Amazon.it gave me the correct book. Could it be that they changed the APIs?
