Meeting Minutes for 10/27/2021

  • New knowledge base is not up yet.
  • We are still working on organizing.
  • Lloyd is adding a detailed page on each load profile.

FOLIO Updates

• Kiwi bugfest is taking place now.
• GALILEO in Georgia is doing an RFI to prepare for an RFP to host an Open Source ILS. Target date for decision is Jan 2023.
• Stanford is hiring staff for the FOLIO project. They estimate they are a couple of years out from a migration. Stanford operates like a consortium because they have many small libraries around campus rather than one big library.
• Reporting is very disorganized. There is LDP from Index Data, Panorama from EBSCO, LDLite, MetaDB, R, and Tableau. It seems like every implementation is developing another wheel. Every week the Reporting SIG demonstrates another way you could do reporting.
• Developing MARC invoice loading for Lotus
  • Firm order and DDA workflows
• Elastic Search is now the only search function in Kiwi. Some features that were working have not been set up yet in ES, so they are missing from Kiwi.
• Optimistic Locking currently breaks QuickMARC, Remote Storage, and Data Import, so Kiwi will have Optimistic Locking turned off.
  • OL is how the system deals with the case were two people have the same record open at the same time. When the second person tries to save changes, they will not be saved, and they will get a warning that the changes were not saved.
  • Tammy asks if the second person can eventually save their record. No, the two records are incompatible. Only one can be saved because the changes may be in direct contradiction.
• Creating an Order with a MARC load will not be ready for Lotus, hopefully Morning Glory.
• Discussion of the workslip idea in Acquisitions SIG.
  
  • The acquisitions PO likes this idea. He will write up a JIRA.`
