Goals

Discussion items

Resource sharing/ILL solution architecture

  •  

    • Review cross tenant unmediated borrowing document

      • Patron library

        • wants to know what items (title, etc.) were borrowed

        • Patron activity (borrowed item from particular libraries)

      • Owning library

      • **some discussion of relationship between a multi-tenant consortium and the Library Data Platform; it’s probably time to set up another meeting with Reporting SIG and Nassib (PO)**

      • How long are these kept around?

        • These don’t need to be kept in the operational system for reporting purposes because the data will be in the LDP

      • Stats

      • Create temp item in patron library

    • Terminology

      • Scope: Just physical materials (short-term) - needed (for FLO by 2021)

      • ILL: Library-to-library

      • Mixed ILS Consortial Sharing (mediated)

      • Mixed ILS Consortial Sharing (unmediated)

      • Requesting from different FOLIO tenant

        • This is the same for in-person patron or remote patron requiring in-transit

      • Single-tenant request UXPROD-1061: Title-Level Requests (Basic)Closed

      • Resource sharing

      • There are tiers of resource sharing; these need to have names codified and descriptions written

    • Action: put up a Discuss post about who sends notifications - owning library or patron library

    • Action: set up a meeting with Reporting SIG

Multi-tenancy - defining terms

  •  

    • Consortia constituents with intentions of implementing:

      • FLO

      • 5Colleges

      • GBV

      • HBZ

      • HeBIS

      • BVB

      • Duke - not a consortium, but thinking about a multi-tenant implementation with cross-tenant functionality

    • Codify terminology (slides 4-6 of this slide deck are good references); there seems to be a fair amount of confusion around this

      • Instance

      • Tenant

      • Single Tenant - one FOLIO instance with one tenant containing all the libraries in a consortium

      • Multi-tenant - twist: might not all be on same instance (this maybe relates more to cross-tenant functionality; a single FOLIO instance isn't necessary for cross-tenant functionality)

      • Cross-tenant - functionality that requires communication/data transfer between FOLIO tenants

    • Action: put up wiki page with terms and definitions
