The first U.S. national Profile for Z39.50:
"The first U.S. national Profile for Z39.50 is out for review and ballot from February 3-March 14. Z39.50 is the international standard that helps you retrieve information across lots of databases; this Profile will simplify and improve its implementation among all its U.S. users. Comments are invited. [Catalogablog]"
This is great news for Illinois libraries, many of whom are currently using the Bath (International) profile for the Z39.50 standard. If your library hasn't adopted its use, please consider it. Some of the initatives (like VIC) being worked on by the Illinois State Library and the regional library systems require everyone to adopt the same profile for Z39.50.
