OpenHoldingStatus Web Service

Open Holding Status

General Description

Open Holding Status is a web service that provides information about the availability of library materials:

• Which libraries own a given material
• What is the current status of the material in the local system

Operations

• localization: searches for the material in the Open Search data well’s holdings register: which libraries own the material? Has the library registered any usage restrictions (codes in marc field 096*r)?
• holdings: the status of the material in the individual library. Answers can only be retrieved from libraries that support holdings lookup via z3950 or ISO 20775.
• detailedHoldings: a newer version of holdings, with expanded details for journal-holdings.
