I, too, had certainly envisioned a more free-flowing model, not a hub-and-spoke model (no matter who was in the center). Thanks for the reply, David. Hmmm.

Does “NCIP Compliant” actually mean anything?

No. When I first started reading the specs, I thought
that it might allow a given library to connect to another,
arbitrary, library that was known to have the desired item. But
that’s not how it works at core. A library can only send requests
to libraries with which it has negotiated a trust relationship
outside of the NCIP world. This is why, at LITA Forum ’06 in
Nashville, OCLC kept talking up their “star” model: everybody
