ABSTRACT
This workshop provided an overview of serials interfaces available today in the library industry. Topics included Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), the work of the industry standards organizations, and what is actually involved in the implementation of an EDI standard by the library, ILS vendor, and agent. The presenters suggested how to enlist the support of library trading partners to develop EDI interfaces and address the items that an ILS vendor must consider before undertaking an interface project.
