  5. HTML vs XML • HTML was designed to display data • Think visual web page • XML was designed to structure, transport, and store data • Think communication and passing information between systems

  6. Communicating With NCIP • NCIP is a structured message between two systems • Like passing coded notes in class • NCIP requires an initiator and a responder • The ILL system is the initiator • Check this item barcode out to this library patron • The ILS is the responder • Yes/No item checked out

  7. A Bit of History • Work began in 2002 • Defined broad application • Direct Consortial Borrowing • Circulation/Interlibrary Loan Interaction • Self-Service Circulation • Established 47 message pairs • 47 Messages • 47 Responses

  8. Too Much of a Good Thing • Report Circulation Status Change • Update Users • Fiscal Transactions • Recalls • Cancel Recall • Delete Items • Delete User

  9. Complexity Limited Application • Multiple Applications • Self Checkout • ILL • Consortial Borrowing • Too many message pairs for easy compliance • 47 message pairs

  10. Rethinking NCIP:9 Core Services for ILL • Lookup Item • Lookup User • Check Out Item • Check In Item • Renew Item • Accept Item • Request Item • Cancel Request Item • Recall Item

  11. Optimizing Workflow The BorrowDirectModel • Lookup User Authentication • Check Out Item Shipping • Accept Item Receive Processing • Create Bibliographic and Item Record for Borrowed Items • Place a Hold for the Patron • Check In Item Return and Complete Processing

  12. ILLiad 8.3 Addon • NCIP Version 1 & 2 Successfully Tested • Aleph NCIP version 1 • Innovative NCIP version 2 • NCIP Integration for Lending • Ship Item in ILLiad = Check Out Item in ILS • Complete Item in ILLiad = Check In Item in ILS
