Decided
Recommendation
The FG recommends that all UC institutions integrate VDX with Alma using the NCIP 2 Accept Item and Check In Item messages. (Pre-SILS Alma institutions have already implemented at least the Accept Item message.)
...
Institutions that currently have NCIP integration (UCD, UCSC, UCSB, UCI, UCR) can retain their current NCIP integrationsconfigurations, but may wish to harmonize their implementations post go-live, as they are not uniform.
Background
NCIP 2 is a standard protocol that enables integration between external systems, including interlibrary loan brokers, and ILS circulation systems. VDX (via the OCLC NCIP gateway) and Alma both support this protocol, and integrations have already been implemented at the UC institutions that installed Alma prior to the SILS.

Fulfillment and ILL FG |
| Group meets and discuss standardizing NCIP integration across UCs, to avoid manual creation and deletion of on-the-fly records during the fulfillment and ILL processes. Before SILS, each institution worked independently with OCLC and Ex Libris to achieve the integration. The group feels that the best way forward is to propose that a representative of the SILS cohort negotiate an agreement with OCLC to provide the NCIP integration to institutions that are not yet integrated with Alma. |
