Output XML Format
The returned XML includes the patron’s photocopy requests lists per institution, or a specific photocopy request’s information.
The information is exported as Z38, Z30 and Z13 tags. When setting the view parameter to full, the records are fully extracted. When setting the view parameter to brief, only some of the elements are extracted.
