WMS NCIP Resource Sharing
Integrate workflows between resource sharing systems and WorldShare Circulation
- Status: Production
- Sandbox access: No
What you get
- Ability to support lender workflows between the Supplying ILL system and the WorldShare Circulation System in the Supplying Library. Two actions are supported:
- CheckOutItem - used to indicate that an Item is now to be considered by the Supplying Circulation System as On Loan to the Requesting Institution
- CheckInItem - used to indicate that an Item is no longer to be considered by the Supplying Circulation System as On Loan to the Requesting Institution
- Ability to support borrowing workflows between the Requesting ILL system and the WorldShare Circulation System in the Requesting Library. Three actions are supported:
- LookUpUser – used by the Requesting Library to authenticate and/or request details about a patron.
- AcceptItem - used to indicate that an Item has been received by the Requesting Library for a patron, and that the Circ system should represent this item as existing and being available to collect.
- CheckInItem - used to indicate that an Item is no longer in use by the Requesting Patron and that any loan it has should be terminated. This mostly exists to clean up in case the loan was not terminated by the Circulation desk correctly.
