+YAZ is a programmers toolkit supporting the development of Z39.50/SRW/SRU
+clients and servers. Z39.50-2003 (version 3) as well as SRW/SRU version
+1.1 are supported in both the client and server roles.
+
+The current version of YAZ includes support for the industry standard
+ZOOM API for Z39.50. This API vastly simplifies the process of writing
+new clients using YAZ, and it reduces your dependency on any single
+toolkit.
