==Terminology… I==

===ILS System===
An '''integrated library system''', or '''ILS''', is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_resource_planning enterprise resource planning] system for a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library library], used to track items owned, orders made, bills paid, and patrons who have borrowed. An ILS is usually comprised of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_database relational database], software to act on that database, and two [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface graphical user interfaces] (one for patrons, one for staff). Most ILSes separate software functions into discrete programs called modules, which are then integrated into a unified interface. Examples of modules include: acquisitions (ordering, receiving, and invoicing materials), [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_catalog cataloging] (classifying and indexing materials), circulation (lending materials to patrons and receiving them back), [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_number serials] (tracking magazine and newspaper holdings), and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPAC OPAC] (public interface for users). Each patron and item has a unique ID in the database that allows the ILS to track its activity. (wp)

===ILS System Migration===
Typically three to five years after a library has had an Integrated Library System they will consider or need to migrate off of the system to a new. The factors determining a migration and an ILS migration are system performance, software functionality, money and vendor service. (ac)

===Indicator===
The first two character positions in the variable data fields that contain values which interpret or supplement the data found in the field. Indicator values are interpreted independently, that is, meaning is not ascribed to the two indicators taken together. Indicator values may be a lowercase alphabetic or a numeric character. A blank (ASCII SPACE), represented in this document as a #, is used in an undefined indicator position. In a defined indicator position, a blank may be assigned a meaning, or may mean ''no information provided''. (m21)

===Indirect Geographic Subdivisions===
An indirect geographic subdivision is ordered from largest body to smallest body. An example would be $zKansas$zJefferson County. (mpg)

===Initial Article===
An '''article''' is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word word] that combines with a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noun noun] to indicate the type of reference being made by the noun. The three main articles in the English language are ''the'', ''an'' and ''a''. An initial article occurs at the beginning of the title of many books. In the MARC record it is typically not indexed as part of the title of the book. The filing indicator found in the MARC record determines the first letter of the title to be indexed. (wp, ac)

===Institution Code===
''see OCLC Institution Code''

===Interesting Authorities===
The MARS 2.0 automated authority control process allows the user to restrict the number of updated records delivered by choose to receive only authority records that are ''interesting''. MARS 2.0 defines an authority record as interesting if it contains one or more of the following fields: (mpg)

* 260—Complex ''See'' Reference (Subject)
* 360—Complex ''See Also'' Reference (Subject)
* 4XX—''See From'' Cross Reference
* 5XX—''See From Also'' Cross Reference
* 64X—Series Treatment Note
* 66X—Reference Note
* 678—Biographical or Historical Data
* 680-682, 688—Public General or Tracing Note, Deleted Heading Information, or History Note

The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a unique, numerical [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commerce commercial] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book book] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identifier identifier], based upon the 9-digit Standard Book Numbering (SBN) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code code] created in the UK. The 10-digit ''International'' Standard Book Number (ISBN) format was developed by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Organization_for_Standardization International Organization for Standardization] and published as an international standard in 1970. Since [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_1 1 January] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007 2007], International Standard Book Numbers have been 13 digits. (wp)

===ISSN===
