Standard Interchange Protocol

Not to be confused with Session Initiation Protocol.

The Standard Interchange Protocol is a proprietary standard for communication between library computer systems and self-service circulation terminals. Although owned and controlled by 3M, the protocol is published and is widely used by other vendors.[1] Version 2.0 of the protocol, known as "SIP2", is a de facto standard for library self-service applications.[2]
