TRANSCRIPT
What is ILL ASAP
Originally a VBScript written by Kyle Banerjee while at Oregon State University
Would process ILLMe source file and extract holdings information from Innovative Interfaces OPACs and create easy to use XML generated request slips.
Why Retire ILL ASAP
No choice With OCLC retiring ILLMe, the original
ILL ASAP no longer had a source file to process.
Many users had migrated to ILLIAD, so I had been under the preception that ILL ASAP was no longer in use.
Short retirement…
Within a week of ILLMe’s retirement, I started receiving questions from users regarding the continuance of ILL ASAP, so….

Batch Processing Requests
ILL ASAP 2 ILLIAD Interaction
Need: Capturing holdings
information Present software
uses Z39.50 to get Call Number/Location Information from MARC record.
ILL ASAP 2 ILLIAD Interaction
Need: However, what is
actually needed is the holdings record data to determine actual holdings.
ILL ASAP 2 ILLIAD Interaction
Need: Exactly what
information to extract becomes more muddled as ILS add-ons are created. In III, ERM records provide only a title to the Z39.50 Client giving no indication of holdings.
ILL ASAP 2 ILLIAD Interaction
Importing Holdings Interacts with the following ILLIAD
tables: dbo.Transactions, dbo.LendingRequests
Processes items from the dbo.Transactions table with a ProcessType of “Lending” and a TransactionStatus of “Awaiting Processing”
ILL ASAP 2 ILLIAD Interaction
Importing Holdings Appends holdings data to the OCLC
request in the dbo.LendingRequests. Inserts Call Number into the
dbo.Transactions table for all items and Location into the dbo.Transactions table when handling individual items.
