The Item Arrival and Departure Notification Application Profile of the NISO Circulation Interchange Protocol is designed to alert applications interested in aspects of the receipt, the return, and the bibliographic description of interlibrary loan items. As a lightweight auxiliary protocol for use with ISO ILL Requester and Lender applications, it is designed to relieve clerical activities associated with the gathering and recording of such information by client applications.

This profile is designed to support messaging between an ISO ILL application and applications interested in the items passing through that system. Its principle purpose is to provide a bibliographic description of ILL Items and signal their arrival and departure as implied by the raising of RECEIVED and RETURNED indications in the ISO ILL State Machine. Examples of such interested applications are circulation systems, statistics collecting applications, collection development applications, and other administrative/management modules.
