Product Council meeting recap 

David and others in attendance
  •  roadmap has been updated
    • some "below the line" features have been moved "above the line"
    • "the line" represents features that are needed for v1
    • important to emphasize that this is a development roadmap; discussions/details about certain features may be necessary prior to the timeline indicated on the roadmap
    • Consortia SIG can use this document to help guide/prioritize discussions

Consortial needs matrix

All

Categories

  • continuation of last week's discussion
    • attendee consensus that mapping categories to consortial services is a good approach that will resonate with consortia
    • might be interesting to create something similar to Drupal distributions - packaged versions of FOLIO that include core code plus add-on apps needed for consortial functionality
  • what does consortial administration represent?
    • possibly things like adding/removing members, defining consortial relationships, etc.
  • reporting/statistics
    • Q: should this be a category or is it a need that fits several categories? A: probably a need(s)
    • consortial wide statistics are important
    • several new needs were added to the matrix
      • libraries within a consortia need to be able to assess the value they are receiving from their consortial membership, as well as assess what they are contributing to the consortium
      • consortia need data/statistics/reporting to evaluate usage of consortial services in order to demonstrate value, refine services, etc.

Defining consortial relationships

  • so far the needs matrix doesn't represent any of our discussions about libraries having multiple consortial relationships; this was added to the spreadsheet
  • also, consortia sometimes have relationships with other consortia, so this needs to be defined not only at the individual library level but also at the consortial level

For next time,

  • review categories and make sure services provided by your consortia fit within current categories (add additional categories if not)
  • add additional needs to matrix
