[Asis-standards] ISO/DIS 18626, Information and documentation — Interlibrary Loan Transactions

[Mark Needleman-UF]

Folks

 

Since no one had any contradicting comments or opinions about how to vote I
just cast a NO vote on

 

ISO/DIS 18626, Information and documentation — Interlibrary Loan
Transactions

 

With the following comments:

 

1) We support the comments provided by Lyrasis

 

2) We are concerned that there is no language in the standard specifying
behavior in an Action just as Recall or Renew is not supported by the
library receiving it. While this may be an unusual situation we thing
language such as

 

"If an action is not supported by the library receiving it, the ILL
transaction remains in the state it was as if the action was never sent"

 

or language to that effect be added to the document- Section 4.1 Error Data
might be the appropriate place to include such language as it would then
apply to any situation in which a message can not be processed by the
receiving organization

 

3) Not a major objection but we thing the use of the word library throughout
the standard is limiting. Not all organizations participating in ILL
transactions may be libraries in the traditional sense of a library.
Organization or entity would be more appropriate and would help indicate
that this standard is appropriate for use in many different environments
