I am interested in setting up a type of interlibrary loan with another library. To facilitate searches from our side in their catalog and from their side in our catalog I have heard that there is a feature called z39 something-or-other. Does that work with openbiblio? We both use openbiblio...

It has been a while since I read something about software that serves databases to Z39.50 clients.
Check the Index Data website, yaz toolkit perhaps? http://www.indexdata.dk/
The LoC lookup patch is a Z39.50 client, based on PHP/YAZ from Index Data. This popular addon extends OpenBiblio cataloging with Z39.50 search and automated import of MARC records. http://www.flos-inc.com/projects/index.shtml

I took a look at the yaz page and it has capabilities of building a client in PHP, but not a server. I'm not sure I'm up to building my own Z39.50 implementation on either client or server side... I'm gathering that it's not part of OpenBiblio at this point...?

What I remembered from the Index Data website must have been:
"SimpleServer is a Perl module which is intended to make it as simple as possible to develop new Z39.50, SRU and SRW servers over any type of database imaginable" http://www.indexdata.dk/simpleserver/
Try searching the Web for others, like:
zSQLgate
"[...] setting it up is a matter of writing a relatively straightforward configuration file [...]" http://sql.z3950.org/

What about working as a Z39.50 server so others can search OpenBiblio ??

> not part of OpenBiblio?
Not that I know of.
