Ende letzten Jahres hatten wir uns an JSTOR gewendet, um die 
Moeglichkeit zur Integration der Ressource in die virtuelle Bibliothek 
der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zu evaluieren (http://vlib.mpg.de). Damals 
haben wir zumindest bezgl. z39.50 eine abschlaegige Nachricht erhalten 
(s.u.). Ich habe Ihre Mail heute zum Anlass genommen, dort nochmal 
nachzufragen.

In der gestrigen Mail von Herrn Enderle an Inetbib ("iPort-Metasuche für 
die Virtual Library of Anglo-American Culture") fand sich uebrigens der 
Hinweis, dass JSTOR ueber die Oberflaeche der Vlib-AAC recherchierbar ist.

Beste Gruesse,
ing overkamp

Hi Inga,

Thank you for your message. Unfortunately JSTOR doesn't currently 
support Z39.50 searching. This is something that we have considered 
implementing, but we don't currently have any plans to put it into place.

However, we are actively investigating newer versions of Z39.50, 
specifically as it applies to the new field of meta-searching (also 
called federated searching).  Although we do not currently have an 
available interface, we are working in this area, and you should look 
forward to hearing more about this in 2004.

I hope this information is helpful. If you have any more questions about 
this, please don't hesitate to let us know.

Best regards,
Aimee
