Hi all,

Already for some time now, it looks like I cannot use Dutch sources. I get messages like:

Warning: simplexml_load_file(http://sru.kb.nl/sru/sru.pl?x-collection=GGC&version=1.1&operation=searchRetrieve&query=de%20cockpit%20van%20de%20organisatie&recordSchema=dc&startRecord=1): failed to open stream: Connection refused in /var/www/html/inc_externalbooksearch.php on line 115 Warning: simplexml_load_file(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity "http://sru.kb.nl/sru/sru.pl?x-collection=GGC&version=1.1&operation=searchRetrieve&query=de%20cockpit%20van%20de%20organisatie&recordSchema=dc&startRecord=1" in /var/www/html/inc_externalbooksearch.php on line 115 Fatal error: Call to a member function children() on a non-object in /var/www/html/inc_externalbooksearch.php on line 119

when trying to use these sources. I get this with all of them. Is there anyone who has a clue what is this? Am I missing something here?

Many thanks!

Cheers,

Walter

Thanks; was a bit too quick. I agree with the post there that these errors have a big impact (e.g., not able to quickly add / look up Dutch books).

I've had the same problem for some time, and now I think I see what goes wrong here: The URL of the Dutch national library ("Koninklijke Bibliotheek") changed to jsru.kb.nl quite some time ago.

I edited the link you mentioned, this does give me results (6 titles):
http://jsru.kb.nl/sru/sru.pl?x-collection=GGC&version=1.1&operation=sear...

I also informed the Koninklijke Bibliotheek's metadata administration department, I hope they can look into it as well.
