NOTIS and The Faxon Company have announced a series of cooperative efforts to facilitate the exchange of ordering, invoice, and claims information. The new services will electronically link users of the NOTIS acquisitions/fund accounting system with Faxon's LINX network. A tape interface will allow Faxon subscription invoicing information to be loaded directly into NOTIS's acquisition system for local manipulation, eliminating redundant posting of large serial invoice. In addition, NOTIS users will be able to transmit electronically their order and claim information into Faxon's LINX network and directly to publishers who participate in Faxon's PUBLINX service. Libraries will benefit from speedier processing, as well as having immediate access to information about the current status of their orders and claims.
