  "description": "This document describes Version 2.00 of the 3M Standard Interchange Protocol (SIP), which provides a standard interface between a library’s Automated Circulation System (ACS) and various library automation devices. It details command messages to the ACS, response messages from the ACS, and standard protocol rules and regulations, including error handling, checksums, sequence numbers, and protocol version compatibility. The protocol benefits libraries by allowing the addition of new devices and services with minimal changes to the ACS and is useful for vendors and library planning committees.",
