+      We at Index Data know that the records currently in this
+      directory represent only a fraction of the Z39.50/SRU/SRW
+      compliant databases that exist.  Our aim is to make this
+      directory as comprehensive as possible.  To that end, we ask
+      your help.  If you are aware of a Z39.50 compliant target that
+      is not represented in our directory, please add it or send us
+      email with the details. Also, if you should happen to find an
+      error in our data or have additional information, please don't
+      hesitate to <a href="mailto:irspy@indexdata.com">contact us</a>
+      so that we can make the target
+      information as accurate and comprehensive as possible.

+      <b>DISCLAIMERS</b>: Most of the systems listed are generally
+      made available without charge for testing or general use, but
+      many require authorization, either for access or additional
+      functionality.  The Target Directory does not contain
+      authentication information, and it is not meant to be a
+      substitute for authentication/authorization procedures many
+      targets require. In addition, the information presented here
+      should not be considered indicative either of the functionality
+      of the native interface of the target, or of the functionality
+      of any given software system or installation. This directory is
+      made available for evaluation purposes only.  Although we try to
+      make it as accurate as we can, Index Data assumes no
+      responsibility or warranty for its correctness.
