Data Import (formerly Batch Loader) Subgroup - Original Working Group Page

The Data Import (Batch Loader) subgroup will work with developers to outline functional requirements for the FOLIO Data Import Loader application. Overall scope is still to be finalized, but will include importing of MARC records to create or update instance, holdings, and item records in Inventory, as well as corresponding records in MARCcat. The Data Import app is especially important to MM SIG and RM SIG, and will likely interact with the Inventory app, MARC Cataloging app, and Acquisitions-Orders app. Because this is especially important to cataloging, the subgroup will act under the auspices of the MM SIG; however members of the subgroup will include RM SIG, and perhaps other SIGs as well.

Data Import Subgroup meetings are held Wednesdays, from 1-2 pm US ET.
