Resolver - how to find out?

Exilregierung
Hey there,

I am not really getting along with the world cat registry resolver.
Only findings in libraries far away are brought up while books are available in my home town - even when I set my location correctly.
There is even a collaboration of libraries in my area which has a common search page, so it could be awesome to make use of it.
I just don't know how to find out about the URL of the resolver of that page.

This is the general search page
http://vs13.kobv.de/V?portal=KOBV&institute=KOBV&func=meta-1&mode=advanced

since Berlin is a big city with many libraries and universities I guess it would help quite some people to access the resolver of that collaboration search of the libraries.

thx!

    Just stumbled across this list with Berlin Libraries, but since I might search in several it would be quite a hassle to change the Resolver URL all the time.

    The resolver for the common search of all those libraries on kobv.de would be way nicer!

    try contacting kobv directly or ask in one of the member libraries.

    so there is no way figuring it out?

    I noticed, that the individual berlin libraries have resolvers related to kobv:

    Freie Universität Berlin (KOBV) -- http://sfx.kobv.de/sfx_fub
    Humbolt Universität Berlin (KOBV) -- http://sfx.kobv.de/sfx_hub
    Technische Universität Berlin (KOBV) -- http://sfx.kobv.de/sfx_tub

    so I thought there might be a way to find out what could be the resolver for kobv itself...

    Or alternatively - is there by now a way to insert multiple resolvers for lookup?

    Just found this discussion, asked a guy from the KOBV. here is the solution:

    Enter the sfx from technische Uni berlin http://sfx.kobv.de/sfx_tub a page appears, where it says "Recherche in weiteren Berliner/Brandenburger Bibliotheken", klick on the arrow and you are in the KOBV. It's the easiest way to do a resarch like this.
