The DOCLINE institution record contains the institution information for libraries in DOCLINE. Keeping your institution record up-to-date provides accurate information for other DOCLINE libraries. The information includes directory information for the institution and library staff; interlibrary loan services and levels of service provided; delivery methods provided; charges and fees information; DOCLINE and NN/LM membership data; and DOCLINE specific information including request routing instruction defaults.
Each institution record in DOCLINE is recognized by a unique library identifier referred to as LIBID. The LIBID consists of six alphabetic characters. For U.S. and Canadian institutions, it begins with a two-letter US MARC Geographical Code (U.S. State or Canadian Province code), followed by a U for U.S. or a C for Canada and ends with three unique alphabetic characters. The LIBID for other countries consists of the first two letters of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) code, followed by the letter X and then three unique alphabetic characters. Once a LIBID has been assigned to a library, it cannot be changed.
