## List View

You can choose which columns are displayed in the List view by selecting or deselecting the checkboxes. Possible columns are Authors, ISBN, Publisher, Binding and Rating.

## Online information providers

&app; can download information from a variety of different online sources; some of these sources have additional options to control how the information is downloaded. &app; will search each of the sources in turn, in the order displayed in the list. You can change the order in which the sources are searched by moving each source up or down using the Up and Down buttons.

- The Spanish Culture Ministry

- Barnes and Noble

- Amadeus Buch

- Internet Bookshop Italia

- Reynaud-Bray

You can also use the Z39.50 protocol to add and remove new information providers. Two providers have been set up using this protocol for you.

### Amazon preferences

&app; can download book information from different amazon websites - currently, amazon.com, .co.uk, .de and .jp . To change which site to use, select Amazon from the Provider list, and click on Setup. Then choose either UK, DE, JP or US from the drop-down menu.

The Development token and Associate ID can be changed if you have an amazon web services account. You sign for an Amazon Web Services account at aws-portal.amazon.com. If you don't know what this means, then you can safely leave these values alone.

### Proxis preferences

&app; can search the Proxis website for books in either English, French or Dutch. To change which language to use, select Proxis from the Provider list, and click on Setup. Then chose either en, fr or nl from the drop-down menu.

### British Library preferences

If you have an account with the British Library, you can use this dialogue to specify your username and password for the z39.50 service. You can also choose which database to connect to.

### US Library of Congress preferences

If you have an account with the US Library of Congress, you can use this dialogue to specify your username and password for the z39.50 service. You can also choose which database to connect to.

### Adding Z39.50 providers

To add or remove a Z39.50 provider, you must first enable the advanced preferences options by clicking on the Advanced Settings checkbox. Two new buttons will appear: Add and Remove. Clicking Add will open the Z39.50 provider dialogue:

#### Adding a new Z39.50 information provider

Here you can specify the Name of the provider, the Hostname, the Internet Port to connect to, the name of the online Database, the Record Syntax used (&app; currently supports USMARC, UNIMARC and SUTRS formats), and, if relevant, a username and password to connect to the provider.
