What IS Zing? And is this an advertisement? -- Zoe  Preceding undated comment added 22:37, 6 December 2002 (UTC)Reply

Z39.50 is the name of a communications protocol that lets library users search other library's catalogs using the same interface. Librarians have encouraged techies to use Z39.50 standards when writing software for library catalogs. Why? So that even though the catalog screens look different when you visit different libraries, they can all look the same when you log on to them from one computer. Zing is apparently the next generation protocol that was developed within the past few years. GUllman  Preceding undated comment added 02:42, 25 June 2003 (UTC)Reply
