2017-10-04 - Consortia SIG Notes

5min

Housekeeping

SIG membership is up and running (thanks Peter)

• users not logged in can't see the list; Peter will take a look

• Fixed. It was a global permissions problem on user profiles.

Consortial needs matrix review/discussion

General questions/comments

• mechanics in a shared system

  • reporting based on unique ids (as opposed to codes); what happens when ids aren't unique across member libraries?

    • suffixes or library number are used in many systems to distinguish data

    • FOLIO planning to use unique university identifiers

      • universally unique across all FOLIO instances

• nice-to-haves -

  • multi-tenancy from the beginning (this is planned for FOLIO)

• does Resource Sharing need #3 apply to UBorrow, etc.?

  • row 4 modified to reflect this

Review of new needs (rows 21 to 24)

• Data import/export need

  • are there any permission implications for this? Yes, can be done either consortially or by member library

  • what does "group of libraries" refer to? Consortium

• Vendor data

  • should be normalized across member libraries in a FOLIO tenant

• Authentication with multiple campus systems

  • most common case is one campus system per member library, but there are some outliers (one single library that supports two campuses)
