== Making the Easy Things Easy: A Generic ILS API ==
* Wayne Schneider, Hennepin County Library, wschneider@hclib.org
Some stuff we try to do is complicated, because, let's face it, library data is hard. Some stuff, on the other hand, should be easy. Given an item identifier, I should be able to look at item availability. Given a title identifier, I should be able to place a request. And no, I shouldn't have to parse through the NCIP specification or write a SIP client to do it.
This talk will present work we have done on a web services approach to an API for traditional library transactional data, including example applications.
