Hi Matthew. I think we are all indebted to you for a great piece of work to clarify the issues around this and coordinate our requirements. Let's hope III don't opt for the bare minimum the system should be able to match and compete with other LMS ILLs for usability but either way the work completed to get consensus from EIUG definitely hasn't been wasted. Thanks again and best wishes Margaret -----Original Message----- From: This list is for current and potential users of the Innopac system [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of PHILLIPS M.E.

Because the British Library is now moving ahead with developing the new BLDSC API, which should be available within a few months, Innovative are going to wait and code a solution based on the new API. I see this as pretty good news, as the new API allows much tighter integration with library management systems. Even if Innovative initially implement the minimum possible, much more clearly defined use of the fields will be needed, so the work we have gone through is not wasted.
