Custom scripts for integration with Sirsi Unicorn systems


There are 3 custom scripts written to allow RD to communicate with SIRSI Unicorn. These scripts are specified in the config.xml file by these tags

<reserve_script> - This script accepts reserve information (loan period, instructor name, course etc) and creates a reserve record within the ILS called within the interfaces/staff.class.php staff::createILS_record

<holdings_script> - This script accepts a barcode or control key and returns the current holdings for all associated items This script is used to retrieve all holdings for an item. This information is then displayed to the processing staff so they may select a desired copy to place on reserve

<display_reserve> - This script accepts a barcode or control key and returns the current holdings for all associated items which have active reserves This script is used to retrieve only active reserves for an item. This information is then displayed to the processing staff so they may select a desired copy to place on reserve
