Hello and Welcome!
This is the official GitHub repository containing the latest updates for the ILLiad Alma NCIP Lending System Addon. The latest version of this Addon submitted to Atlas Systems can be found at the ILLiad Addons Directory.
This is a System Addon for ILLiad allowing for automated checking out of Lending items in Alma from ILLiad via NCIP, using a item barcode stored from data within a selectable ILLiad transaction field.
This System Addon needs to be installed in the same directory as your regular Addons in its own folder. If you make changes to your Addon configurations through the config.xml file while your ILLiad Client is open, you will need to close and reopen your ILLiad Client for the configuration changes to take effect. You may also make changes to your configuration values through the ILLiad Client, under System > Manage Addons.
If you run into problems and want to see the error log, please check these instructions: https://github.com/Hypolymer/AddonsLibrary/wiki/Enabling-ILLiad-Client-and-Server-Logs
This System Addon is typically used in conjunction with the ILLiad Alma NCIP Borrowing Addon and the ILLiad Alma NCIP Borrowing Renewals V2 Addon.
