RTAC Support

RTAC stands for Real Time Availability Check.

Its purpose is to allow an OPAC or Discovery system to augment its search results by running additional queries against the ILS to establish the status of the item shown in the result: is it available?; on hold? already checked out? etc.. This is accomplished by having the ILS provide a few externally facing API endpoints that the OPAC/Discovery system can integrate with. It’s something available from all ILSes in one form or another.
