2017-10-04 - Consortia SIG Notes

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.

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)

Next week:

• continue review of needs matrix
  • preparation: add additional needs, indicate desirability and/or amendments for your consortia, review categories for overlap, etc.
• discussion of possibilities for sharing the results of our work
