Does Innovative support SRU Record Update? Response: Innovative does not currently support the SRU Record Update. Development in this area is not currently scheduled.

Any further progress on NCIP? When can the Australian customers expect to receive an III quote for NCIP for Libraries with VDX? Response: After our discussions at the Australasian Innovative Users Group meeting in December 2008, we verified with John Bodfish from OCLC if the specifications outlined were complete. John did verify that our specifications were quite complete and detailed but offered two suggestions. Our development staff just finished reviewing these suggestions and approved them being included. A new quote will be issued for the sites in Australia shortly.

Are there any plans for ISO compliance with the Interlibrary Loan Module? Yes, it’s on the 2009B list and QUEEN is expecting to beta test.

Is Innovative working on formal support for virtualization? Not sure what this question is referring to. Virtualization is what Solaris Containers are for which we responded to in question #1.

When can we list or export the check-in card box data from the create list. Currently, we are able to do create list using the checkin card data but unable to list those data such as box status, cover date, transaction date etc. This will remain the same in Release 2009.
