  • https://openlibraryfoundation.org/about/wolfcon/upcoming/

  • Submissions until March 31

  • Different session’s length and options

  • Hybrid is difficult and a challenge

  • Far in advance – what can we talk about in September?

  • Reserve slots and topics can be added later

  • Fee for virtual participation 50$, will be used for equipment, but rooms are different and it can be challenge

  • Zorian:  possible topic report on organizational changes with new subgroups after 6 months (in September)

  • Sara: bringing information back to the ERM SIG / Those subgroups are very important for local KB and eholdings users

  • Martina S.: Assume all our sessions will be hybrid

  • Owen: session on search – where should we be going with search in ERM? What are the outcomes we are aiming for?

  • Owen: feedback from those using the system, last WOLFcon – seeing people how they use it always so helpful – like and dislike about the system – sharing what is like to use the system?

  • Martina S.: Search is a good topic – helpful multiple presenters each for a couple of minutes. Presenting day-to-day use

  • Sara: elastic search does this include the query language searching – maybe include in the discussion

  • Martina S.: cross apps topics? Cross Apps topics – Agreements work with Orders, Agreements work with Inventory, presenting workflows and look at these situations

  • Sara: Exporting – how to get all across app data?

  • Zorian (chat): bulk importing and exporting

  • Owen (chat): I wonder if the Workflows app people are going to be presenting at WolfCon? If so I think a session on impact of that app on ERM would be a really good idea

  • Zorian: session comparing with other system

  • Owen (chat): I think “working documentation” as opposed “system documentation” is an interesting point

  • Please add your ideas and comments to the board and vote until March 25th, that will give us some time to submit the sessions

I think there are definitely parallels for other groups - e.g. different discovery systems integrating, different finance systems etc.
scolglaz 14:35
But maybe it would be good to hear from you what you would find useful/interesting to hear/see from us?!
That was meant re: Owen now
Re: the search tile, can we also mention Filtering … because it is always Search & Filter, and how they interact or do not interact in the most wonderful ways
Owen Stephens 14:45
Inventory is definitely more challenging and complex but all implementations of search come with their challenges. In Agreements a lot of the challenges are going to be about integrating the resources and the Agreement lines and the Agreements and making sure search works across all of that in a sensible way
And you have to decide aspects like “what is the hierarchy of the data in the search engine” - which isn’t something from a user perspective you care about but it makes a big difference to how easy it is to surface certain information in search

Sempertool and ROAM both mentioned on a mailing list this week
WOLFCon in OLF so definitely possible we’d have attendees of different systems (esp. Coral)

scolglaz 14:54
Not even.
Owen Stephens 14:58
Thank you all
