I fear the fallout may extend beyond individual libraries' scripts. I don't know the details of which functions III is pulling from the character-based system, but if they include checkout, checkin and holds, then a number of systems that rely on interoperability among ILS products could be affected. I'm thinking in particular of libraries currently using Sirsi-Dynix URSA system for direct consortial borrowing. Will it slow interoperability projects other vendors and open-source developers are working on? OCLC local? -sigh- Bonnie ......................................................................
