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. 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.

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
• Note: currently http is not populated in $0. Will be fixed in future and script will be provided to update the links. Looking into http vs. https.
• Question: single record import not bringing in $0 from OCLC. What is the strategy going forward for syncing those workflows?
  • DI perspective would be ideal to protect $0 but challenging with repeatable fields.
  • Khalilah has talked with other folks (Gloria - LC and Doug - OCLC) on this topic and know it is a problem that needs to be solved.
  • Laura: part of problem is with OCLC.
    • Chicago and Cornell have raised issue with them.

Key bugs and enhancements addressed

• See slides for details

Search and Enhanced Consortia Support will be covered at future MM SIG meeting

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

  • SIG Reports 2023-10-19

    • Regular SIG convener visits every quarterly or every 2nd month (TBD)
• 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)
