Proposal UB Leipzig and SLUB Dresden

Introduction

• In German libraries, specific demands on the management of periodicals exist, which are mostly not available in Folio. Especially in big libraries the ordering, receiving, claiming, … of several subscriptions of one periodical title are necessary and should be assisted by automatisms. 
• Example: SLUB Dresden holds 7.432 active print subscriptions and in 2021 (January until September) around 30.200 issues were checked in. 
• The aim of the presentation is to explain the necessary adjustments. To reach the aim, in the following sections planned developments and missing elements and functions are described. 
• Jira-tickets concerning the claiming process in Folio
• Functions, which should be implemented or improved in Folio

Description Jira-tickets

• Description:
  • If check-in pattern and frequency can be discerned, create pending check-in pieces automatically, e.g. if monthly, with annual renewal, create 12 pending check-in pieces

• Description:
• If a user checks in a piece on an ongoing order, and there's no pending piece, create the next pending piece automatically. Maybe use the most recent existing item record as the default/template for the next one, so the user only has to change the enumeration/chronology and barcode

• Description:
  • Problem: User has to add each expected piece individually. Pieces are added almost daily while ordering is active and this can consume a significant amount of time. Patterns might also trigger automated claiming when an issue is overdue
