URSA
This profile, referred to as the NCIP Direct Consortial Borrowing: URSA Application Profile (DCB-Dynix-URSA) of the NISO Circulation Interchange Protocol (NCIP) describes the functions, applications, and the operating environment in which the URSA application manages the circulation transactions.
Through Direct Consortial Borrowing (DCB), users of one agency can request and borrow items from another agency within a consortium. The NCIP facilitates the transfer of user and item data between disparate circulation applications, thereby allowing an agency to manage traffic for non-local patrons and/or provide local control of items belonging to another agency.
