Pika Roadmap
Next Release

• Still deciding which eContent integration to work on next, there is no card for it yet.
• Some follow-up for the Sierra APIs was also done for Horizon to stay on top of developing for all ILSes.

Conversation topics:

• Who uses ILLiad?
  • Somethings are coming up with ILLiad, which is an interlibrary loan service, APIs with a couple of the libraries.
  • If you use ILLIad and are interested in APIs, please send your interest to pika@marmot.org
  • R & D wants to start gathering the information
• Review of item and grouped statuses
  • Jordan is going to be looking at the grouped statuses, and wanted to form a small subgroup or subcommittee to discuss this with her.
  • Jordan was looking at the list of statuses that were prompted by some questions from Arlington.
  • Wondering how useful all of the statuses are for patrons, and maybe be able to simplify them.  
  • One in particular is the In Transit status.  In the list of holds, in transit makes sense. Outside of the holds list, it can be misleading for patrons.  
  • Another example that may be confusing for patrons is the In Processing status.
  • We can do some simplification so this is less confusing for your patrons.
  • If anyone is interested in working on simplifying the status with Jordan, please email pika@marmot.org with your interest.
  • Jordan will get a meeting setup for those who want to participate.

Conferences Updates:

• Lloyd from Marmot is going to be presenting and doing a forum on documentation at IUG on Thursday, April 26.
