NCIP Administration

NCIP (NISO Circulation Interchange Protocol) is a standard suite of messages designed to allow disparate systems, such as the Polaris ILS and regional resource sharing solutions or ILL applications, to exchange data in support of lending and circulating material among members of the two systems. NCIP is also used for patron authentication alone by some third party applications.

To set up NCIP processing with Polaris, you use policy tables to map NCIP data to Polaris data and NCIP parameters to configure NCIP processing for your library.
