| Chalmers Visit | Ann-Marie Breaux (PO data import, tags, also works with Acq) | - Debut of FOLIO to staff
- Cate Boerma, Harry Kaplanian, Kalilah Gambrel, Ann-Marie were there
- Going live without cataloging, don't need MarcCat, don't need MARC source records. Use central Swedish cataloging
- Don't need invoices/funds because they use central university financial system for that.
- Use Circ, requests.
- Worked on Circ, orders, receiving, cataloging, discovery, e-holdings, packages, licenses. Filmed staff doing things in FOLIO and training each other.
- Have Self-Check and RFID reader that worked.
- POs went over most efficient ways to do things in the apps. Didn't have written documentation, done over WebEx. For orders, created order in FOLIO which may not be most efficient. Need to get that WebEx recording shared.
- Answered UX/UI questions that had been submitted
- Worked on title-level requests and interim steps to get title-level requests
- Hackathon to work on connectors needed. Magic button" plugin for their browser to start in Libris (Swedish catalog) to import record. Won't have e_records in inventory. Will only place orders for physical materials.
- Inventory is lightweight for them - bringing in enough info to identify versions and to circulate. Won't distinguish formats - all print.
- Went really well!
- Ann-Marie came home with lots of information to turn into Jiras. Lots of feedback on UI stuff. Need more distinction, bigger font, when looking at a record, it needs to take over the screen instead of being limited to the third pane. Performance was an issue
- When more than 10K records in inventory, shows 99 million plus records! - bug has been reported.
- Need searching/filtering in Orders. Internationalization and Alphabetization cleaned up.
- Need to see more circulation info on items.
- Videos will be edited and shared.
- Localization of strings? Special characters in Swedish alphabet that come after "z". Need to get them in the proper place. Can't combine author/title searches. May change "check in" and "check out" to "loan" and "return" instead. Also preferred "clear screen" to "end session" (sounded like logging out)
Will be setting up a bib/title-level requests sub group. 5Colleges have talked about ranking locations. Is there a list of what Chalmers is using? Using everything that exists no - won't be using anything related to money (fines/fees/funds) and won't use MARCCat.
