Re: [VuFind-General] VuFind/Voyager/MySQL data

Hi Andrew,

Thanks a lot. Yes, this does answer my question.

After I look at the code some more, what's the best way
to follow up about with questions about querying Voyager?  I ask because
I'm interested in the analogous process for SirsiDynix Unicorn.

Thanks,

Jim
