This week we started sharing information with Ex Libris about our local integrations that are required for go-live. Integrations are connections between software that allow information to be moved from one to the other. Things like loading patrons and staff users, sending requests to AEON for the Rubenstein Library material tracking, and self-check out are just a few integrations we'll be detailing. Some integrations involve adding connections to third-party software, such as meeScan, or ReShare for interlibrary requests to our IvyPlus or TRLN partners. Some include import of data like embedded order data we get from vendors like Yankee Books so that orders can be created at the same time a bibliographic record is loaded. We also export our data to sites like our very own discovery layer, HathiTrust, or IvyPlus's Platform for Open Data, and will need to consider those as integrations. Some integrations will require work from the library's developers in Discovery Strategies and Technologies where we take data and transform it programmatically before it's loaded such as our patron records.
