I agree with everyone else that NCIP is not the killer app with ILS interoperability - but it's the closest thing we have at this moment. What I am invisioning with VuFind is a base class that does NCIP functionality and then specialized classes for each ILS that tweaks the NCIP messages. From what I have heard - Voyager 7 is supposed to have a much fuller NCIP implementation and I believe the same story for SirsiDynix. But these are just that - stories. Also I believe both Evergreen and Koha have NCIP as well. Andrew
