Initiative’s VisionCreate a new global service framework
that allows individuals to obtain what they want based on factors such as cost, time, format, and delivery.
This framework will encompass promoting and exposing library services in a variety of environments.
Initiative Perspective Focus on users not enhancing staff tasks Vendor neutral Global context Broad definition of resource sharing
ILLConsortial borrowingReferenceDigital services
ILL vs Resource Sharing Request to fulfillment to
return Presumption of scarcity Presumption of
controlling policies Presumption of sole

the library
Discovery to delivery Presumption of
abundance Presumption of user-
controlled options Presumption of being
one of many suppliers Process may start or
end outside the library

NCIP Update: Growing Pains Candy Zemon, NCIP-IG chair
Despite many current successful implementations of both direct consortial borrowing and self service applications, NCIP is not yet as widely used as developers might wish. There are several real and perceived hurdles slowing more widespread adoption. The NCIP Implementers’ Group spent its September meeting addressing those issues. Eight specific problem areas formed the agenda of the three-day meeting.
1. extension mechanism 2. smaller messages
3. DTD/ schema 4. transport options 5. reported defects
6. profile structure and purpose
7. supporting documentation for developers and other interest groups
8. ILL/ wider resource sharing ramifications
Coming out of this meeting are several specific initiatives to produce documentation and examples, to correct a small number of defects identified over the last few
