We are working on ILL forms on the WWW for Indiana State University. Not a webcat version, but straight HTML/ PERL form.Are plan is to collect the information from the web form, and one from our NOTIS OPAC, then FTP the information to OCLC. They in turn move the data to our request file. The FTP part is tricky since OCLC requires it in ASN1/BER, but we have it written, and hopefully soon in production. *** *** Paul Asay Indiana State University Cunningham Memorial Library Terre Haute, IN 47809 mailto:libasay@cml.indstate.edu http://bubba.indstate.edu (812) 237-2598 *** ***
