database connection

Post by vbd »

I'm having trouble connecting to the database of the portuguese national library (Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal).
I have checked the domain name and database name via IRSSpy, but still with no success...
Any suggestions?
thanks

The connection settings would be "porbase.bnportugal.pt:210/porbase"; however, all the MARC tags returned are incorrect. Bookpedia will not be able to understand the fields. For example the title is under tag 200 instead of 245, when this tag is supposed to be unused. Unfortunately, this makes it a server that you can't use with Bookpedia.
