My main source for adding books, the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in the Netherlands, has been "Auto detected as not working". However, their catalogue is still available. It seems they have changed their url, first it was something with opc-kb, now it is https://webggc.oclc.org/cbs/ Can anyone check?
Regards.

I feel like this is related to this bug here:

>2 gilroy: Not particularly. They went to the dark side and signed with OCLC Worldshare, so there's no Z39.50 access. >1 DutchRonn: Sorry, nothing to be done. Will try to look into more Dutch sources in the coming weeks, though.

Could be, not sure.
I noticed that although it says "not working", I can search the KB catalog, but I cannot add the results to my books.

Yes, in this context "not working" means that it doesn't function as a source for LT anymore.

>5 Nicole_VanK: Right. No support for the type of integration that would be required.
One thing that would help with Netherlands libraries generally is to get an example of working Z39.50 access credentials for any library system running V-Smart, since that system seems to have more or less taken over the market there. So basically anything on this map. https://librarytechnology.org/libraries/map.pl?ILS=V-smart
The module that would allow Z39.50 access seems to be an add-on, but some subset of V-Smart libraries would likely have activated it. Unfortunately, nobody here has any idea what typical server naming, port setting, or database naming conventions are with that provider.
