  • Update on the complaint from World Jewish Congress
    • Complaint is that holocaust denier lit is classed with legit holocaust lit
      • Not really mixed together, but too close together
    • They looked at the Ukrainian holodomor also
    • Decided to move the section for denialism of the Ukrainian holodomor, but not the holocaust

FOLIO Updates

• Workflows
  • TAMU finished first sprint
• Metadata Management
  • The Germans are developing a random number generator function which could be used for Inventory accession numbers, call numbers, barcodes, request numbers, serials pattern ID numbers, vendor codes.
  • New serials management app in Quesnelia release. It will allow you to create and edit subscriptions. Create prediction patterns. Create a set of scheduled pieces for a serial based on the prediction pattern.
  • Discussion of how to handle alternate scripts, like in the 880s
• QuickMARC
  • Tenants will not be able to change fixed field validation rules. Changes to those rules will come with flower releases.
  • Discussion of how to deal with literal dollar signs in MARC records.
    • $ is now a subfield delimiter
    • They will probably use {dollar} like in MarcEdit
• Product Council
  • Discussion of Direct Consortial Borrowing (DCB)
  • The FOLIO INNReach module is not being replaced by DCB. FOLIO will be able to work with either OpenRS or INNReach
  • DCB and INNReach function very differently in the background even though they do the same thing, so they should not interfere with each other.
  • OpenRS is the platform that includes DCB and other functions. DCB is the part that manages returnables.
  • Enhanced Consortial Support (ECS) setup would use OpenRS for returnables between FOLIO tenants in a single consortium.
