Two additional agreements’ metadata fields to display on the eHoldings' app Agreements accordion

6

As an ERM librarian using the eHoldings app, I want to be able to see additional details about a selected Package or Title’s linked Agreement.
I would also want to see if the associated Agreement is perpetual access (is perpetual Agreement field) and if it has a linked License record (if yes, then include the name of the license and a link to that License record).
Knowing what titles or packages have perpetual access in eHoldings is helpful for knowing whether individual titles within need to have their coverage dates checked or customized to match what is entitled, Knowing if an agreement/eholdings package has a license attached to it and if so, being able to access it easily, provides a direct route to verifying perpetual access terms, and other relevant information such as entitlement lists, license terms, and license documents. It would also facilitate setting up and maintaining the license term integration between FOLIO and Publication Finder.

FOLIO Agreements & AGLs - eHoldings - HLM: source of truth ?! / linking and unlinking

1

Working between 2 systems (FOLIO & HLM) and within FOLIO between 2 Apps, can lead to actions (manual and system-based) in one to have unintended consequences in the others (e.g, “zombie” AGLs are esp. frustrating, OR that you can unintentionally delete things entirely from one in the other). Also it is frustrating that one cannot UNlink an e-resource in an AGL and either not link it at all again or then link it to a different e-resource as needed.

Possible to bring this feature into FOLIO?

Searching in eHoldings

7

Searching in eHoldings currently works fairly opaquely, and often search results do not match the same search performed in HLM. It is not entirely clear how results are sorted, and there is some amount of apparent lemmatization that happens, but exactly what are the triggers for it are not obvious.

Also, as far as I know, there is no way to do an exact search in eHoldings. This creates situations where I have to scroll through multiple pages to find a result that exactly matches what I searched, while records with much less in common with my search terms appear before it.

I do not know how much of this is an issue of development that needs to be done vs documentation that needs to be written to make things clearer.

Should it be possible to have multiple AGLs for the same resource (title/package|platform combo entity linked from eHoldings) in the same/single Agreement

8

 

(Copied from ERM Implementers list, dates from 2020) After discovering that inadvertently an extra AGL had been added to an Agreement from eHoldings causing an unwanted dupe entry in the Agreement–but which is NOT obvious or in any way noticeable once it has been done from eHoldings and very difficult to detect in the Agreement since the entries do not show following each other and the Agreement has many many lines (+100)–I wondered whether this should even be possible (slack posting: https://folio-project.slack.com/archives/C9ER2HCRY/p1603474359024000 )

In response, Owen countered that one may want multiple AGLs for the same title entity when needing to link them to separate POLs over time (since AGLs may be date limited); but also suggested thinking about:

  • How we can reduce the likelihood of this happening by accident (e.g. warning that there is already an AL for this resource)

  • How we can make it more obvious to the user in eHoldings that there are multiple Agreement Lines (within a single agreement)

  • Making it more obvious to the user in Agreements that there are multiple Agreement Lines for the same resource within a single Agreement

(see Owen's initial and following responses to Sara's slack query: https://folio-project.slack.com/archives/C9ER2HCRY/p1603710981024800?thread_ts=1603474359.024000&cid=C9ER2HCRY )

Question for discussion: to be able to dupe add or not? And if, to be able, then how to address making it obvious

Within title list view of package record, show managed or custom coverage of titles

9

A title's coverage dates is one of the factors for librarians use to decide whether a package containing the title should be activated or not in knowledgebases. If a journal does not have coverage dates, librarians typically decide not to use the package as this usually indicates it is not updated properly.

To be discussed

Within title list view of package record, ability to sort titles by selection status, a-z order

10

As a librarian
I want to easily find selected titles
AND not sift through a slew of titles
So I can find the titles I want to update quickly.

Requirement

  • Primary Sort: Sort titles to display selected titles first then non-selected titles

  • Secondary Sort: Sort titles in alpha-numeric order

  • If primary and secondary sorting is not possible then by default apply the Holding status = Selected filter

Acceptance criteria

Given I am on a Package record

When I view the titles accordion
Then display Holding status - Selected first

Given I am on a Package record
