MSCW and MSCE Integration

Inspired by the conversation we had during our last KDAC meeting, I allowed my thoughts to wander down the rabbit hole, and here is where they ended up: Multi-State Center integration.

Basically, as KLAS prepares to integrate with PIMMS, the next step for me would be to integrate with the system used by MSCW and MSCE (I admit I don't know what system or systems they use). I'm thinking mainly of the benefits this integration would present to our ILL process. Imagine being able to see in your local KLAS if an ILL from a multi-state has been shipped or returned. Imagine if that ILL showed up in the items tab of a user's account in the Patron module. Imagine if you could easily count an ILL towards a user's limit, reducing overdues both for your local collection and MSCW's. Because of PIMMS integration and live updates, MSCW and MSCE could get the information for a user from PIMMS, then push shipment information to KLAS.

It's crazy and big and I haven't a clue if it's possible. But it would also be really cool.
