The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) is inviting vendors of automated library systems and libraries interested in testing the draft standard protocol for the exchange of circulation information to an implementers' meeting. The standard is designed to facilitate the interchange of circulation information between different circulation applications, and between circulation and interlibrary loan applications. It could, therefore, be used to share information about patrons who use two or more libraries with automated systems from different vendors.
To attend the meeting, which will be held in Berkeley, Calif., July 31 to August 1, contact NISO's Patricia Stevens by e-mail before July 25.
