  Question in chat from Eric P: "Has anyone heard what the timeline is for FOLIO to support "local load" of MARC Authority and MARC Holdings? Or who might have the answer? As it relates to Source Record Storage (SRS) and Data Import Apps. We heard Q4 (Iris) is being pushed back to next March." Laura will forward this question to Ann-Marie and the Scanbit PO

• MarcCat SRS Integration
• Coverage test - went from 0% to over 60% 
• Working towards Q4 to integrate MARCCat to FOLIO - Clarification on "Q4" - Tiziana will check with Ann-Marie. Best guess - Iris
• Working with ScanBit
• Cleaning code to better share to people external to at Cult
• Identified and analyzed all UXPROD opened and in progress and assigned
• "Coverage test" - automated quality checks on newly developed code. Needed to ensure code is ready for a new release. All apps are following these requirements. The coverage is expected to be 80% or higher. This prevents regression on most written code. 

How are text strings indexed in Inventory, regardless of language. Even within collections, text can be multi-lingual. What other symbols, besides & need to be considered. Example given by Ann Kardos " + ". This needs to be approached systematically. 

Need non-US libraries involvement. Need to gather examples from many languages. Sarah added that math and chem symbols should be considered.

Suggestion: Establish a small working group. After that asynchronous work can be done, after initial work.

Documenting use cases and expected behavior. 

From Jess Lambertson: "There would surely be a number of variables (literally) regarding symbols in terms of what they would 'mean' in an index. This may not be super easy" Laura agreed, stating the group should be fairly conservative in their work. 

Elastic search should be considered since FOLIO is steering towards this. ( UXPROD-2592 - Getting issue details... STATUS )

Contact Laura or Charlotte if you are interested in working on this.
