I see that NLM currently has a Lend and Borrow API available for third-party ILL systems testing. (See update for 6.2.49 from February 9, 2024, at https://www.nlm.nih.gov/docline/support/releases.html.)
Can you let us know if ExLibris is a third-party partner in testing the API with Alma?

We've also been keeping an eye on this and are wondering if Ex Libris has reached out to NLM since October 2020 to find out the status.

Hello
I'm not sure if you have made information available about this in a different way but just wondering if there is any update on the APIs being made available?
"We will reach out to those who expressed interest in DOCLINE integration when APIs are on the schedule for development."

There's on going contact with NLM. The last inquiry was made on October 2020, and was responded to with - 'We will add you to our vendor list and be in touch as soon as possible.'
We will continue to track the feasibility of this potential integration option.

Can this integration be checked on again, as it's approaching 18 months since the first inquiry? Thanks.

Hi,
Ex Libris has been in contact with NLM some time ago regarding the possibility of setting up an integration with DOCLINE. Following the launch of DOCLINE 6 we have re-asked the question. NLM answer is quoted below.
"DOCLINE 6 was launched for requesting this spring, with basic features for interlibrary loan. Development continues to be focused on restoration of features or functionality that were available to users in the previous version. While we can confirm that APIs are planned for the future, there is no additional information at this time. We will reach out to those who expressed interest in DOCLINE integration when APIs are on the schedule for development."
We will continue to monitor the development of DOCLINE, and be happy to work on integrations as soon as that becomes an option.
Thank you,
Moshe Shechter
Alma Product Manager
