ReShare walkthrough

Inventory

ReShare has made some modifications to Inventory to associate multiple MARC records to one instance
- Q: how does matching happen? A: uses same matching algorithm from CARL's Gold Rush
Use VUFind as out-of-the-box discovery solution that exposes shared index
- Q: why not just build shared index directly in VUFind? A: wanted to make it discovery tool agnostic
- Q: anything other than Inventory being used from FOLIO? Users? A: yes, Users (just for staff)
Request process
- uses OpenURL to push request to ReShare; user can choose pickup location, "need by" date, specific volumen, add notes
- Users app doesn't manage patrons (since the assumption is those are managed in the ILS) ← point of integration with FOLIO ILS user management
- Request app (ReShare app)
  - functionality is different from FOLIO Request app
  - load balancing - looking at different options for determining "best" supplier - e.g. net lender/borrower goals, geography, etc.
Directory app
- manages information about each library (might be managed differently in an all-FOLIO setup)
- each library's directory information (and updates to it) is pushed to other libraries in the network (peer-to-peer/FOAF)
Supply app
- Z39.50 query automatically checks for available item; if available, it will create a "will supply" auto-response
