Single tenant with multiple libraries - consideration for consortial implementations 

Permissions & restrictions in FOLIO

Multiple libraries in single tenant slidedeck

Question: If, in a single tenant with multiple libraries you can

• Have multiple, independent financial structures that are viewable and editable by a specified group

• Have multiple, independent connections to knowledge bases (presumably all of one type ie. EBSCO or GOKB)

• Share patron data (but not limit editing to individual institutions)

• Share bibliographic information and items (but not limit editing to individual institutions)

 @Kelly Drake

Q: What's the dividing line between a single and multi tenant consortial implementation

• current single tenant plans include partitioning ERM for multiple libraries

• use cases for cross tenant

  • libraries with multiple relationships

  • systems integrations

  • multiple sets of bib records (i.e. OCLC and SkyRiver)

  • bib records purchased by a single library in a consortium - restricting other libraries from attaching holdings/items (or even see them perhaps), enhanced content like Syndetics

  • strict scoping of patrons (becomes more of an issue with student data privacy laws emerging)

  • separate tenants that need to do buying club activities

Follow-up from Slack discussion about Libris

@Lloyd Chittenden

Q: Is this a possible solution for bib and authority record sharing?

• is Libris open source? (it's on GitHub)

• Chalmers is harvesting records from Libris into FOLIO; not sure how requests and patrons across the consortium are managed

• still requires establishing  resource sharing policies, workflows, and functionality
