About the SIG

The Discovery SIG meets to discuss the front-end systems of FOLIO. Membership open to all members of the FOLIO community. This group continues and expands on the work done by the Discovery Integration SubGroup (2022-2025).

Areas of concern:

  • Overall user experience of discovery interfaces

  • Real time availability of (print) items and circulation information

  • Availability (access and licensing) information for electronic resources

  • Additional item information (bound with, provenance, courses, etc.)

  • Patron APIs (patron information, requests, holds, renewals, fees, notes, etc.)

  • Harvesting and exporting records

  • Indexing and display of resource metadata

Activities:

  • Identify discovery needs in the FOLIO community

  • Provide a forum to discuss discovery needs

  • Work with discovery providers and FOLIO SIGs to clearly define community discovery needs and draft requirements for possible solutions

  • Offer feedback on discovery features, particularly those which have been recently developed or are in development

Make recommendations for improvement to FOLIO modules and APIs related to discovery, in the form of JIRA tickets, prioritized lists, etc.
