BLCMP and EDI why EDI? EDI at the University of Birmingham: a case study

Abstract

Amongst the library systems suppliers, BLCMP have been at the forefront of EDI developments: some of the first UK libraries to install EDI software were their BLS system users. Two of the early users, the libraries of Birmingham University and West London Institute here present accounts of their experiences so far. Implementation of EDI ordering via BLS is described, together with its performance and effects on the acquisitions process. At the time of writing, there are now 21 libraries and 16 suppliers using BLCMP's EDI facilities.
