These guidelines describes a specific implementation of the Direct Consortial Borrowing: Broker Application Manages Transaction Application Profile (DCB-3). In this scenario bibliotek.dk takes the role of a broker between the end user and the local library system.

These guidelines are part of a series of specifications for technical interoperability between libraries and between libraries and partners called "danZIG specifications". The danZIG is a committee representing library system vendors, library technical interoperability consultants and national library services supplemented by libraries representatives put together by Danish Agency for Libraries and Media and chaired by the agency. The purpose of danZIG is to advise the governmental agency Danish Agency for Libraries and Media, which have the responsibility for the published specifications.
