Pt 3 A: Some vendors charge for various access types, so not all libraries have access through the same mechanisms, even on the same ILS and version. #Fulfillment #equinoxEDU
Pt 2 A: If there are native APIs that give us all we need - temp item creation, placing and removing holds, etc -we'll use those. If there are NCIP or SIP2 interfaces, we can use those as well. #Fulfillment #equinoxEDU
Question: please talk about the connector technology -- are you leveraging ILS APIs? or doing something else? A: For connector technology we use the "best" protocol available. #equinoxEDU #Fulfillment #oss #opensource
