TLC and Quipu Group Enhance Patron Registration Services
The Library Corp. (TLC) and Quipu Group teamed up so that libraries can use updated CARL•X web service APIs to implement Quipu Group’s eCARD patron registration and verification system. eCARD grants or blocks registration based on patrons’ address data and offers a self-service patron registration interface.The partnership resulted in the development of the full-featured Patron Services API that uses an online form to transmit data to eCARD, which then validates and standardizes addresses and submits the information to be processed via CARL•X. This procedure makes registration easy for patrons and increases staff members’ efficiency. CARL•X is an open system with APIs that do not charge additional costs to libraries or their third-party developers. Source: The Library Corp.
