Background Information

What is the current ILS at your institution?

FOLIO. Before switching over to FOLIO in late September 2019, we were using Sierra from III.

What is the date of your fiscal year end? Please do not include a range of your fiscal year.


How is your implementation team organized?

The team consists of systems and ERM librarians and a coordinator. The team works with our implementation consultant from EBSCO.

Has your institution hired additional staff? How were they funded?

No.

Is your institution planning to be hosted? Self-hosting? Still considering both options? Please explain.

Hosted by EBSCO. We are implementing FOLIO as beta partners for FOLIO Services from EBSCO.

Is your institution considering a partial implementation, such as the ERM first? Please explain.

Since September 30th 2019, we are running the following apps live: Check out, Check in, Requests, Users, Orders, Inventory, Organizations, Agreements, Licenses, eHoldings, SIP2. We are using EDS for discovery and all patron facing services, and the LD-based National Union Catalog of Sweden as our external metadata source and primary cataloging tool.

Does your institution plan to run FOLIO in parallel with your current ILS? How long? Please explain.

No.

How sure are you of the plans described above? Why or why not?

Since September 30th 2019, we are running the following apps live: Check out, Check in, Requests, Users, Orders, Inventory, Organizations, Agreements, Licenses, eHoldings, SIP2.

What concerns do you have? What do you hope to get out of participating in this group?

We hope to be of a community of other libraries implementing and later running FOLIO, with whom we can share experiences, advice and concerns.
