2019-04-17 Consortia SIG Meeting Notes

Housekeeping/updates

• FOLIO in-person meeting

Scope: MVP goal is consortial borrowing of returnables (i.e. borrowing/lending within a consortium)

Features being worked on:

• Discovery - creation of a shared index; push loads/feeds out of local ILS; likely to use OAI-PMH and maybe FTP (either automated or manual);
  • "record cluster" - deduplication at the instance level
  • real-time availability information - working on figuring out approach/solution to this
• Library directory
  • hierarchy for handling branches
  • some stats (net borrower/lender data)
  • thinking about libraries with multiple consortial relationships
  • loan rules - likely to be fairly simple for MVP
• Fulfillment
  • request creation primarily anticipated to happen via discovery
  • routing/load balancing
  • NCIP for ILS integration
  • better shipping info (tracking numbers, etc.)

Next week

• UXPROD Feature Prioritization review
• Reshare and FOLIO ILS functionality (if time allows)
