| Updates from MOL team for Poppy | | MOL team started work ~1/2 year ago. Focus is Metadata Management/MARC record management and working to provide services for Polish libraries to implement FOLIO. They presented earlier this year about MARC templates functionality: 2023-05-25 Metadata Management Meeting notes. 008 field in proper order in quickMARC
- Previous order was not based on order defined by LOC
- Catalogers are used to LOC character positions
- Added hint in each to make subfield clear, e.g. country ctry = place of publication,...
Improved authority linking - Previously clicked on reference term and go to MARC authority record to see corresponding authorized term then go back and start search over with found authorized term.
- Now in top right there is Link button with hint that says Link <authorized term> , click link and it automatically links to authorized term
Added relevant sort to Inventory App - Will be covered when Inventory Search is presented in coming weeks
Questions: Did you consider changing Start date/End date to the MARC Date1/Date2 (since these are not necessarily start or end dates)? - Names are derived from OCLC, but agree would be better to change the names to Date 1/2.
- Khalilah: Will add as enhancement request to change the labels. Challenge to know whether to follow OCLC or LC
- Laura: When there is a discrepancy we should follow LC MARC because OCLC changes are always very OCLC specific.

| MARC cataloging updates | | Presentation - slide deck includes all functionality since Iris Experimenting with change to release notes using overview above. Please provide feedback to Khalilah. Inventory App - Create new MARC bib record via UI
- From Action menu - New MARC Bib record. Not templates but needed pre-req
- Required to update LDR
- Hit save and close, SRS and connected Instance is created
- 008 order improvement - see MOL above
- 008 handling improvements
- Can edit quickmarc even if bad 008 was loaded
MARC Authority App - Automated auth control linking
- if you have assigned permission you will be able to click "link headings" to automatically link headings to bib fields. Only works if eligible bib field has a $0 - no string matching.
- Can set up which fields should be eligible for automated linking. Tenant level configuration via API only. No UI setting.
- Currently 6xx is disabled by default (until subject thesaurus validation is in place) but this may change for Poppy.
- This is not a batch feature. Only supports single record automation via the UI.
- Question: what happens if you have $0 but have not loaded auth records?
- If user doesn't have permission then the link button will not appear.
- If permission is not disabled and link is attempted, the red toast will appear that says "we haven't found any records"
- Failed link bib report
- Improved manual linking - see MOL above
- Additional improvements since Orchid
- Auto-populate bib field values when linking
- Default to search and browse based on bib values
Key bugs and enhancements addressed Search and Enhanced Consortia support Support will be covered at future MM SIG meeting

| PC update | | 2023-11-09 Product Council Agenda and Meeting Notes Announcements: TC is setting down a subgroup on translation/multi-lingual support in FOLIO. Purpose is discussing the possible direction the project might want to go with this. PC subgroup - SIG working group report and discussion: - New SIG reporting process
- SIGs vs Working Groups (typical time bound; but some formed under a PO)
- SIG setup checklist
- Entity Management/BIBFRAME SIG discussion at future PC meeting (11/30/2023) - Felix and Raegan are invited
- Data Import, which is an ongoing group, that might be a prime candidate for changing from working group to a SIG, with a SIG convener from the community (MM-SIG, Acquisition-SIG)
- BELA (Bulk Edit & List App working group (MM-SIG, UM-SIG)
