|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ANU | No | No | Experimenting with internal reports | Greatly simplified our fund codes; switched to using status 'f' for serial orders; ceased using Sierra to calculate encumbrances. | Not at this stage |
| Auckland Libraries | No | We are using the APIs on our new library website to get cover images for book belts | We are testing a proof of concept data warehouse that will hold data retrieved from the SQL queries | New website | Implementing ContentDM |
| City of Gold Coast | Vital 8.0 SP1 | Yes - adhoc patron email communications | Yes scheduled maintenance lists | Linked data (Ebsco). Established Vital test environment and loaded Vital 8.0. | More work with APIs. Commonwealth Games. Payment gateways. Library app. |

List the titles in an e-resource, for use in an EDS custom link. Find all patrons with fines that have risen over $45 since previous lookup. | Using EBSCO EDS as sole public catalogue interface from November 2017. Started implementation of single sign-on using Shibboleth. | Thorough testing of Innovative's ERM replacement, with a view to phasing out coverage loads and manual maintenance of ERM info. |

| Sydney University | No | We have continued to develop our middle ware between peoplesoft and sierra | No | No | None |
| University of Melbourne | No | The University Student Portal has offered students library functionality for many years, initially using the My Millennium API and SIP2 to display loans, fines, holds etc and to allow renewals. In 2017 the interface was redeveloped to use the Sierra APIs. It is huge undertaking requiring several 100K API calls per day. | Provision of statistics and reporting for Program Registration activity. | Redevelopment of University Student Portal to use the Sierra APIs. Redevelopment of the University SSO. Use of Pathfinder Pro to integrate Sierra with Special Collection requesting via the Aeon system. Population of ERM resource records in EDS discovery layer. Opening of webpac to Google, to meet user demand and practices, particularly relating to database access. | No |
| University of Newcastle | No | Worked with Unilinc to implement API/Mulesoft/web services to provide online payments for the client in real time. This removes the NIS form Nustar(student system) and responds back to Sierra to remove the debt. Takes less than 3 minutes to complete this process. Great feedback from students. Even better feedback from DLS staff and UON IT services--removed interface that was becoming very outdated! | No | Commenced implementation of E-reserve+ UON is development partners in regards to the 'ingest' data and the proposed API integration with Acquisition | No |
