"Copac exposes rare and unique research material by bringing together the catalogues of over 100 major UK and Irish libraries" They do so via: https://copac.jisc.ac.uk/developers/z39.50/ https://copac.jisc.ac.uk/developers/sru/ Z39.50 provides record syntax: XML or SUTRS SRU provides record format: MODS XML As far as I understand, Koha doesn't understand XML over Z39.50. It doesn't understand MODS XML over SRU either. However, when configuring the SRU, an XSLT file can be provided. So: is there an XSLT file for converting from MODS to MARC21? If not, that would be a feature request.

I've searched for years for a XSLT file as a solution to this issue. I second the request to add XML support to the Koha Z39.50 interface to allow access to COPAC and other databases.
I just want to express there is still interest in in enabling Koha to support Copac/JISC.
