UNSW Library uses Relais with Alma. We are currently using Relais v2014.3.1 and plan to upgrade to v2016 shortly. Pickup locations can come over to Alma via NCIP for both Relais versions. This is how we've configured our Relais environment: Pickup Location can be reviewed/updated by running TableMaintenance.exe in Relais installation folder (e.g. C:\Relais 2016\TableMaintenance.exe).…

The cloud-based Clio system integrates tightly with Alma through NCIP (NISO Circulation Interchange Protocol), which is a protocol that enables, among other things, interoperability between stand-alone interlibrary loan systems such as Clio or ILLiad (often referred to as broker systems) and an ILS such as Alma.  With this new NCIP communication between Clio and Alma,…

At this time, it's necessary to set up at least three Alma General Electronic services for Tipasa, even if you are using the same URL: article, book, and book chapter.
