From Ian.Walls@med.nyu.edu Wed Jul 15 17:02:04 2009 From: "Walls, Ian" To: koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org Subject: [Koha-devel] OCLC Connexion Gateway Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2009 11:01:48 -0400 Message-ID: <543F9234BDD8434A8D45C3D6337B7C8E181C3043@MSGWSDCPMB07.nyumc.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============3515909400508659700==" --===============3515909400508659700== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Developers, Currently, my catalogers use OCLC Connexion to search for and update bibliogr= aphic records. Upon completion of a record, they simply press F5, and the re= cord is imported into our existing ILS. The window that pops up gives them t= he current status of the export, and a report back on the new bibliographic a= nd item records that were created. We want to preserve this smooth workflow with Koha. I wanted to bring this to our community first, in case anyone might also be l= ooking into this, or if anyone has pursued it in the past. It seems like som= ething we could certainly make work, and perhaps it would lower the barrier o= f acceptance for some libraries, knowing they could preserve a workflow like = this. I talked with OCLC at ALA 2009, and while they didn't have an answer for me r= ight then and there, they indicated that I'd probably need to do some program= ming to build an OCLC Gateway client. I will be calling their direct support= lines, and hope to get connected to someone on their end who can tell me wha= t sort of configurations, protocols and the like I'll need to put in place. = I'll keep everyone posted.

This would certainly be a desirable feature for users of Koha and
WorldCat.  LibLime has received some interest from customers in
implementing this, but we don't have it on our development calendar.
If you can get it working, great!

Thanks.  Some thoughts on that:

* If there's a specific API that Connexion uses or prefers to use for
this import, I hope OCLC can provide open documentation of it.

* The =E2=80=A1biblios web services for sending bib records are also available
in Koha.  See https://bws.biblios.net/doku.php/sending_data_to_biblios.net
for some documentation on how they work.  If OCLC's gateway software
can be modified or configured to use those web services, that gives
you a starting point.

Regards,

Galen
