Discovery Layer

• Institutions who have adopted or plan to adopt FOLIO are known to be using EDS, VuFind, or Blacklight
• VuFind has developed a FOLIO driver - see https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/blob/dev/module/VuFind/src/VuFind/ILS/Driver/Folio.php
• FOLIO provides some modules to support patron and discovery connection - see
  • https://github.com/folio-org/mod-patron
  • https://github.com/folio-org/edge-patron
  • https://github.com/folio-org/mod-rtac
  • https://github.com/folio-org/edge-rtac

• circulation and inventory APIs will be used directly
  • UChicago driver for OLE queries the db directly in many read-only cases because OLE APIs too slow in some cases
  • Cornell does the same with Voyager APIs for same reason 
• MyAccount feature relies on VuFind to access patron data
  • VuFind needs knowledge of both campus and non-campus borrowers in LMS
  • How does authentication for MyAccount work so patron can access their data
  • Proxy borrower support?
  • Need "Patron Empowerment" APIs
• map lookups, missing items form, report a problem form request data from OLE but exist outside of VuFind. 
• some requests come in for OLE data feeds, like a feed to provide info about techbar item availability.
