The XC team welcomes feedback on our ILS data extraction sample scripts. We have now added a script for III Millennium to the existing scripts for Voyager and Aleph systems.
• Automates the synchronization of MARC metadata between the ILS and XC or other systems.
• These sample scripts serve as a starting point for an institution, allowing a much faster start.
• The extracted data can then be used to populate XC or other external systems on a regularly scheduled basis.
• XCO partner institutions have written these -----THANK YOU
The scripts are available at http://code.google.com/p/xcoaitoolkit/downloads/list as separate downloads. Simply download the set for your ILS. Each comes with a README file to help you get started.

Questions on any of these can be “on list” and directed to the authors named above. They are all eager to receive feedback on their work or answer questions.
Please give feedback if you have a different version of the ILS and want to give this a try.
• If the scripts work for other versions of the ILS we would like to document it.
• If these scripts require tweaks to make them work for other versions we can make separate script downloads available.
Open Call: If you would like to write similar scripts for other ILS systems PLEASE let us know.
Please forward this to any person or list that you think is appropriate.
