Minutes
Priorities for Next Release
Review of the status from the previous and current months.
Priority
- Hoopla Integration
- Work will pick back up this release (as Sierra Export APIs are done)
- LION Implementation/Sierra APIs
- Work complete, launch is May 14-15
- Sierra APIs
- Export complete
- Patron account integration next
- Sometimes the API does not have all the functionality we need
- Sometimes it does not work exactly as advertised
- Adjusting the planning to allow for inconsistencies
Other Completed Work:
- Series Improvements
- Discovered some old bugs as part of the series improvement
- Existing bugs will not prevent R & D from launching, but are things that need to be fixed
- Manual grouping messaging
- Digital Archive Private Collections
Pika Roadmap
Next Release
- The Horizon ROA Driver is likely to be coming up soon
- It is similar to the Sierra APIs
- Sacramento Discovery Partner Implementation kickoff in May, but will be in full force in June
- Next eContent Integration will likely be RBdigital
- Looking at RBdigital magazines, eAudiobooks and some eBooks to see if the APIs are similar
- Another potential eContent integration could be Kanopy
- R & D will look at the rankings to see what everyone is using
Conferences Updates:
- Lloyd from Marmot went to the IUG (Innovative Users Group) conference
- Marmot members who attended IUG will be sharing information about the sessions they attended as a Mini-IUG
- The Mini-IUG will be recorded and posted on the Marmot.org website
- R & D will watch for the announcement that Mini-IUG recording is available, and share the link with Discovery
