1 | Ability to insert diacritics for a MARC field A future FOLIO version will have the capability to insert diacritics from the quickMARC screen."Is there any current plan on when this would be? and is there any plan to allow such an option in instance only records? | IN PROGRESS |
| Jeanette Kalchik, Stanford Univ | Covered requirements
Post meeting note: Would it also be possible to add key commands? Jeanette Kalchik | 7/11 update: Since FOLIO is web based. We cannot build a tool. We cannot find a good Chrome plug-in to recommend. For now we will provide Documentation Working Group with information and we will add a tool tip. cc: Christine Schultz-Richert | |
2 | Where should I store migrated authority linked bib field IDs Stanford plans to migrate legacy authority IDs to subfield 0. Discussed whether there are in issues with this plan. | IN PROGRESS | Vitus Tang, Stanford University | No issues with this approach - https://folio-project.slack.com/archives/CTCB5HVLZ/p1687263498676859?thread_ts=1686073896.643469&cid=CTCB5HVLZ | |||
3 | Marc authority functionality in Orchid: it's great to have the ability to link through from the quickMARC record to the Marc Authority app. How is it envisaged that libraries will deal with legacy headings? I can see us adding links to all new bib records, but what about the x thousands of existing records? Would there be a clever way to leverage authority data in bib records? (we get ours from Backstage) | OPEN |

I am also interested in how the Authorities app handles legacy headings. I'm especially interested if/how the authorities data is getting sent to EDS (or other discovery systems). | OPEN |
