I haven't worked with ILLiad in about
a year, but there was no API at that time.  ILLiad did accept open
urls, but it was essentially the equivalent of a deep link into the interface.
 No SOAP or REST.

I also am not sure what your programmer
would be searching for in ILLiad, or if what they really want to do is
place a request in ILLiad.

Subject	[inc-librsvcs] ILIAD -- does it provide an interface other than the browser interface?

One of the programmers in the campus library asked
me about this 
yesterday, and I thought someone in this group  might know.....

he's working on a portal-like service that would search multiple 
services and then order/hold a book for a patron... one of the places 
he wants to search is via Iliad... he's currently screen scraping, 
which is not so good....

does anyone know whether Iliad supports any API style interfaces? 
perhaps over SOAP or REST?

thanks!
