Hi all,

I'll note that we are using Aeon as a target and because of the need to both request and efficiently read information out of it for this and other systems we're working on an unofficial api interface. Would anyone else ever use something like that?

Hi Shaun,

Nope, we're not talking about Aeon, just Illiad - and just for Scan & Deliver. We're going to use OpenURL + javascript to populate and submit the Illiad document delivery form without the patron having to interact with it at all.

Special Collections requests will continue to use a combination of our existing LAS paging and existing semi-manual processes. We're focusing on improving the patron experience and simplifying the mediation process.

I haven't looked at them in a while (though coincidentally was planning to next week), so I'd love to know if there are now ways to do this, or if not, how your team is planning on approaching it.

(In reality, for us, those limits are a little mushy, and all requests with limits are mediated - that is, it's up to the division's public service manager to decide whether an extra box will fit on the truck on Wednesday.)
