Bib Availability status API returns the availability statuses of items associated with the bibliographic record. Since it returns availability statuses of all items associated with a bib, it is likely to be used in partner ILS' Discovery systems to retrieve and display multiple item and their statuses in case of serials and multi volume monographs. The API also accepts both the owning institution's bibliographic id (the id used internally in the partner's ILS) and the bibliographic id generated by SCSB. The institutionId value needs to mention which institution's bibliographicId is being passed.

Items that were requested and are out of ReCAP storage location before the SCSB system went live are also marked as 'Not Available' by SCSB. This is done by translating GFA LASIMS's item statuses to SCSB's as defined in this sheet. |
