Hi,

We run Innovative Millennium and it supports NCIP requests as part of our 
BorrowDirect consortium, which is mostly non-Innovative libraries. (The 
product/addon we bought from III might be a modified version of the Direct 
Consortial Borrowing product that Kyle mentions.) It’s probably more accurate 
to say that the product supports a subset of NCIP - certainly not the whole 
standard. 

I’ve done a bunch of playing with our NCIP responder. If you have something 
similar from III, you should really check whether NCIP requests will be 
accepted and acted on from anywhere. It took us a while to get protection in 
place so that we’d only accept NCIP requests from IP addresses we whitelisted. 
The URL where RESTful NCIP requests are accepted (from our whitelisted IP 
addresses) is

http://129.170.20.40/iii/nciprelais/Restful

and I did all my testing by using curl/wget to POST the xml-formatted NCIP 
request to that URL. We did have a specific port assigned, but that disappeared 
when we set up access controls.

Hope this helps,
