IMPLEMENTING THE NISO CIRCULATION INTERCHANGE PROTOCOL (NCIP): A Discussion
between Librarians and Software Developers
WHEN: Monday, January 21st. 2-4pm
WHERE: Morial Convention Center Room 281
ALA Midwinter - New Orleans
Please join NCIP Committee members and early implementers to hear how the
protocol will translate into "real world" implementation. At this meeting
we will discuss the three key application areas:
- Direct Consortial Borrowing (how a consortium of libraries with
agreed-upon borrowing policies will be able to implement the protocol to
allow patrons to borrow on-site at any library or make remote requests
through their OPAC for delivery and pickup.)
- Circulation to Interlibrary Loan Interaction (the impact on service
design when Circulation and Interlibrary Loan systems can communicate to
share information about shipping, notification, etc.)
- Self Service Circulation (how the NCIP standard can be used to
develop applications that allow users to check out or check in items,
possibly also pay fines, without the assistance of staff)
The purpose of the meeting is to give librarians and developers the
opportunity to understand the potential of the protocol and to suggest ways
to begin dialog between vendors and librarians about needed functionality,
and thus to inform development schedules. Speakers will be early
implementers of the protocol who can share their insights into its potential
for new ways of developing services.
