[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Computer management system integration

[Ben Shum]

Hi David,

I haven't heard of any of those, but generally speaking the most common 
way I've seen third-party applications communicate with Evergreen (or 
other ILS) would be through SIP2.  So I would find out what sort of 
authentication mechanisms those tools use and whether they can support 
SIP2 authentication; or other authentication could be an option with 
newer versions of Evergreen.  And then as far as whether they could 
perform more tasks, like looking up good/bad patrons, blocks, etc. it 
depends on how they implemented SIP2 compatibility.

Others might have more insight in this area, maybe they'll chime in.  
For ourselves, I think our libraries are using a mix of LibraryMetricks, 
Envisionware's PC Reservation, and maybe some other product (don't 
recall off the top of my head now...)
