Other Issues:

    • Mark asked the Wake County folks to send information about their ROA endpoint to get it scheduled

  • Wake County is using an open source self-checkout based SIP

    • Looking to develop a self-checkout based on web services. If anyone has any interest in collaborating on this project, reach out to the Wake County folks. Let Mark know if you need their contact information

Conversation topics:

  • Facet behavior when a field is not coded in the MARC record – see specification
    • Looking at combining into one results, and giving libraries the ability to decide how they want that result to be defined.
    • It will be consistent across facets rather than what is listed in the MARC record for that field
    • Each library can define which facet will display that empty data

Next month conversation topic: Make a suggestion!
