2019-11-13 Consortia SIG Meeting Notes

WolfCon Sessions?  (Should these be on topics of general interest as it doesn't appear many SIG members are attending?)

• Central office

• Cross tenant & ReShare

• ERM SIG is proposing a session on multiple libraries in single tenant (Steve) and multi-tenants for one consortia - Opportunities and challenges of each approach

  • outline of the implications

  • Martina Tumulla suggested that she can put us in touch with ERM folks

 Thoughts on ReShare in General

• "Consortia" button function

  • Could 'live' in each tenant 

• "Directory" button contains

  • Contact info

  • Services

    • Ncip

    • z39.50

    • OAI 

    • etc

• Permissions and editing (to be developed) would be included

• If there could be really deep integration into FOLIO that would be awesome

Thoughts on ReShare, specifically as regards Cross Tenant Unmediated Requesting

• Routing is good

• Monitoring request

• While it would not allow for integrating requested in the FOLIO app

  • Although Kristen says that it may be possible

• Loan rules were good

• Missing

  • Choose pickup location

  • Return to own library

  • Edge case - patron walks into a library

  • No shared patrons

    • Check out is to libraries, not patrons

  • May be possible to use an API to connect to a Reshare account

• Discovery aspects

  • Harvested records for ReShare

  • But no RTAC

    • But not might be necessary for an all FOLIO group 

Thought on ReShare, specifically as regards the "Central Office' functions. 

Next steps for Cross Tenant and Central Office

• Cross tenant 

  • Start building FOLIO requirements and note where ReShare might have similar functionality
