These guidelines describes a specific implementation of the Direct Consortial Borrowing: User Agency Manages Transaction Application profile (DCB-2). In this scenario the library automation tool in the combined public/school library should be able to offer the circulation services to patrons from any of the cooperating libraries and concerning items owned by any of the cooperating libraries.


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.
