Catalog server IP address or Internet name (e.g. 207.62.129.121 or voyager.csumb.edu) 2. Z39.50 server port number for incoming queries (often 210, 7090 for Endeavor, 2200 for SIRSI, etc.) 3. Internal database name for Z39.50 (e.g. Voyager, UNICORN, MARION, INNOPAC, etc.) (See the system at work: http://library.csumb.edu/iamslic/ill/)

10. Alternatives for Participation Don’t have Z39.50 capability? You can join the Union List of Marine and Aquatic Serials which is also searched as part of the IAMSLIC Z39.50 Distributed Library: • Add your library’s serial holdings to existing records • Enter new journal titles not already in the Union List • Records are exported periodically and indexed for Z39.50 retrieval in the IAMSLIC Distributed Library system • Direct input of titles or input of tab delimited text or spreadsheet files (See the system at work: http://library.csumb.edu/iamslic/unionlist/)
