Reporting SIG meeting - report on approach to reporting in FOLIO

• Consort SIG can expect to be asked about what elements are needed for reporting; we should talk about this more at a future meeting

Needs matrix 

• categories tab moved into Doc for easier editing/commenting: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cmGZXj4a-CN-Lz8drp4xDy5ZHHiaoYNCYfGDOmCIqhI/edit?usp=sharing

Reviewed the categories in the Google Doc

• Finance changed to "Financial Agent" - some consortia offer deposit accounts for their members (doesn't seem prevalent among those represented in today's discussion though); it's not readily apparent what functionality would exist within FOLIO to support this service, but it doesn't hurt to keep it as a placeholder
• Resource Management changed to "Shared Workflows"
  • two scenarios at PALNI right now
    • coordination between member libraries to provide some technical services (cataloging) on behalf of another member library
    • consortial support for KB management
  • this category could include things other than coordination around management of resources
• Consortial Administration
  • still some ambiguity around what this category represents
  • thoughts on this
    • represents the overhead for any type of consortial relationship → what types of things need to be done regardless of the specific services/value that consortia provide?
    • Consortial adminstration is not necessarily equivalent to tasks that a consortial administrator might do
