Z39.50 problems

Hello, I´m a new user of Tellico and are finaly 
trying to get all my books in a database. Tellico 
seems to be just that tool with its integrated z39.50 client.

There is however some problems when I try to find 
some books. I use primarily this z39.50 server:
IP-adress: 	z3950.libris.kb.se
Port nr: 	210
Databas: 	libr
Services: 	INITIALIZE, SEARCH, PRESENT, CLOSE, 
SORT, NAMED RESULT SETS, DELETE RESULT SET, EXPLAIN
Typ av sökning: 	1 (RPN)
Attributset: 	Bib-1
Postsyntax: 	MARC21, SUTRS
Teckenset: 	ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1)
Posttyper: 	Full, Brief

Overall there are much fewer hits when searching 
in Tellico compared to the yaz-client(version 
2.1-50) . It doesn't seems to be any problems 
using swedish charactars but rather just fewer 
hits. The following searches produces no hits(or 
hits but not the book in question):

"det modärna japan"
"Bibel och astronomi "
"Ideer om orsakerna "
"meteorologiske dagbog"

"witt, h. a." <- person-search

Of the first 56 books I added in Tellico 6 
couldn't be found. The library has a marc21 
export function in its webbased search engine: 
http://websok.libris.kb.se/websearch/form but I 
havn't been able to import those to Tellico. I 
now there isn't a direct MARC-import function in 
Tellico but I tried converting the marc21 files 
to mods-format using  the marcxml toolbox 
http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml//.

Other than that the only thing I've reacted to so 
far is that it isn't possible to do a person-title search. That could be handy.
