BookWhere Suite Technical Requirements

The system requirements for BookWhere Suite are very manageable, allowing almost any PC to use its powerful features to search thousands of library databases in real time.

System Requirements

• Microsoft Windows™ (ver. 10, 8)
• Internet connection
• Microsoft™ Internet Explorer™ version 6 or higher
• 2 GB RAM
• Pentium processor
• 50 MB of disk space (more if working with large numbers of records)
• Font capable of displaying Unicode™ characters
• Firewall rules allow outbound TCP connections on designated ports

BookWhere provides easy access to more than 3000 live databases. This means that you have access to the newest titles, not to a static list of records. Firewall settings need to allow outbound TCP connections for the Z39.50 services. Many of these services operate on port 210, but library system vendors can designate alternate ports. The most-used port numbers are: 210, 2100, 2200, 5666, 7090, 9909, and 9991. We recommend that you allow outbound TCP connections on all ports.
