The Library Communication Framework (LCF) is set to transform how library suppliers share information with each other in the future, building on the work that the SIP2 protocol has delivered in the past. The LCF will allow vendors to share not only basic transactional information (like SIP2), but additionally better manage libraries’ users and inventory. For libraries looking to upgrade any of their systems in 2021 onwards, the LCF should form part of your understanding and be a (mandatory?) part of your specification or tender requirements.

Kindly sponsored by Insight Media Internet Ltd, this BIC Brunch session will explore the LCF in its entirety, discussing its origins, the benefits and challenges of its usage and learnings from the LCF in action by exploring recent adoptions. Join this session to learn more about what the LCF actually, is and how it can positively affect the library sector.
