  • Five Colleges (Sara Colglazier of Mount Holyoke)

  • Discussed their implementation of GOBI’s integration with FOLIO.

  • There are 5 colleges, all in one tenant. All have own budget, own ordering… Because in 1 tenant had to agree on how we wanted the local fields to map for all of them.

  • In previous system, they each did everything different although shared the front end that de dupped records. When migrating to folio, decided they didn’t want to share all records.

    • Disabled Inventory interaction instance matching.

  • Orders are attached to MARC records, and don’t create folio source records.

    • Bring GOBI orders as pending, then work flow is to check based on ISBN or title look up, if there is already a record in Inventory. If so, grab the HR ID then go back and link the order.

    • If you don’t find one, import one from OCLC into Inventory then link up.

    • Don’t get cataloging records from YBP anymore, but with this can no longer have YBP apply call # labels.

  • Kristin Martin: Question: They are trying to increase our shelf ready. When they create a firm order, order will not have a bar code. They will be getting material that will be going straight into their automated storage/retrieval system,. For something to get ingested into ASR, it has to have a bar code.

    • Trying to find work arounds, would like to see if any other institutions this workflow with ASR’s?

  • Sara: Could the records have a dummy barcode?

    • Kristin: We have talked about it. Thinking about run data import twice, one that updates the item record first to add wither a real barcode or dummy one, then a second job would actually update the instance record.

  • Dennis: Who is generating the barcode?

    • Sometimes give the vendor the stickers, sometimes just the pattern they generate and add.

  • Sara: Can this be added to the receiving module? During the piece creation create a dummy barcode?

  • Dennis: Can we create the barcode immediately?

    • No, The vendor has the barcodes and will be adding it to the piece. We don't know which barcode will go on which piece.

  • Aaron Neslin 12:28 PM
    could it work with the number generator?

    • Dennis: We can generate it, but the existence of the actual sticker being placed on the piece is the problem. The number generator would just be a dummy number.

  • Juleah Swanson 12:31 PM
    FWIW - I initially had the barcode imported into FOLIO from a MARC field that presumably matched the barcode that was placed on the item...however I quickly stopped that when incorrect barcodes were in the MARC from what was on the item.

Kristin Martin: If anyone wants to follow up with her on this conversation please reach out to her.
