Library Information Systems, Presented at NERCOMP Conferences

Seems Seamless: Joining Library Borrowing Systems with Custom Programming
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Seems Seamless: Joining Library Borrowing Systems with Custom Programming (ID: NCP08080)
Author(s):Bonnie Buzzell (Brown University), Jean Rainwater (Brown University), and Birkin James Diana (Brown University)
Origin:Presented at NERCOMP Conferences (03/10/2008)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

Brown University Library's easyBorrow service is an example of local programming that stitches together multiple vendors' services, providing an apparently seamless interface for borrowing a book from any of five systems. Using teamwork, service-oriented architecture, and a determination to make it easy, easyBorrow's modular implementation allows for quick adjustments as situations (and services) change.
