Sirsi-Dynix Configuration & Requirements
The CaiaSoft® / Sirsi-Dynix integration is a one-way connection from Caiasoft® to the Sirsi API. For items accessed, CaiaSoft® will utilize the Sirsi Item InfoAPI to retrieve attributes (title, author, volume, call number, etc) of each item.
For Circulation, the Hold Item Pull List API will be called for a Sirst library list to create an Request list in CaiaSoft®
Status information can be automatically updated via the advise and transit APIs when an item is accessed or circulated.
Sirsi-Dynix/Caiasoft® Configuration
Use the Administration Module, the API & External Links button to see view/edit all settings.
If your facility is using multiple Sirsi connections
for different collections, contact CaiaSoft® support to assist in the initial setup.
