...
We have developed some functionality, e.g., Dashboard, but where do we go from here? Discussion topic to consider how to support workflows
What are the problems with the existing system and how could FOLIO address them or what solutions have libraries discovered to manage their workflows?
Could be two meetings
...
UI retrospective: is what's been built good? Does it suit people's needs?
Could libraries that have already conducted UI research be able to share their results?
Could be two meetings or more (UI track) - could share information and then follow up with a retrospective
...
This could be a whole track including:
GOKb
VuFind
ReShare
LDP
and FOLIO
...
Review of FOLIO apps and which are lacking support and are "orphaned." How can we find support for these apps?
...
Lessons learned? Show and tell? What should the project have done differently?
...
Hacking FOLIO
...
How do Permissions work? General information on that, since there is a lot of confusion still. Training session?
also: Name standardization
...
should there be a training track for several topics?
e.g.: Permissions
...
Libraries walk through workflows from beginning to end, e.g. Purchase a resource for a patron (incl. Orders, Receiving, Requests, Invoices, Check-in, Check-out, Inventory)
Incl. gap analysis
