A Special Interest Group (SIG) consists of practitioners from libraries and services providers that are interested in contributing to a specific functional area of the FOLIO platform. Many libraries who implement FOLIO choose to participate in one or more SIGs both to stay informed and to have representation in the project.

There are many SIGs. You can see a list of active SIGs here: Special Interest Groups. There is also a list available on the wiki home page.

<<HOW TO BE AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN A SIG. WHAT ARE THE NORMS FOR EACH SIG?>>

Implementers covers a variety of topics. However, more advanced or technical questions are often better addressed by the more specific/specialized SIGs.

Here is a quick guide to all the SIGS that are active as of November 2023. See the wiki home page for the most up to date information

SIG Starter Pack

If you don't know where to start, try sending representation to check out:

Resource Access SIG
Acquisitions SIG
ERM SIG
Metadata Management SIG
Reporting SIG
Implementers SIG

These cover most common library functionality, and have well-established members who can help connect you with the right resources for your questions.

If you don't know what you need, ask for direction on the Implementers SIG slack channel.

SIGs by App

If you have a question that relates to a specific FOLIO app, these are the SIGs that (more or less) cover each app. There are plenty of exceptions, but these SIGs would generally be a good place to start.

App	SIG	Notes
Agreements	ERM SIG
Bulk Edit	BELA Working Group (User Management SIG) (Metadata Management SIG)	Bulk Edits and Lists App (BELA) Working Group is a good place to start. Alternatively, you might be looking for the SIG for the type of record you're working with.
Check in	Resource Access SIG
Check out	Resource Access SIG
Circulation log	Resource Access SIG
Courses	Resource Access SIG RA Reserves SIG	The RA Reserves SIG is inactive, but their slack channel is still available.
Dashboard	ERM SIG
Data export	Metadata Management SIG

eHoldings	ERM SIG
ERM Comparisons	ERM SIG
eUsage	ERM SIG
Export Manager	Metadata Management SIG
Finance	Acquisitions SIG
INN-Reach	Consortia SIG INN-Reach Integration Working Group	The INN-Reach Integration Working Group isn't meeting, but they have their own channel. You should probably start in the Consortia SIG.
Inventory	Metadata Management SIG
Invoices	Acquisitions SIG
Licenses	ERM SIG
Lists	BELA Working Group
Local KB admin	ERM SIG
MARCauthority	Metadata Management SIG
Open Access	Open Access SIG ERM SIG
Orders	Acquisitions SIG
Organizations	Acquisitions SIG
Receiving	Acquisitions SIG
Reporting	Reporting SIG
Requests	Resource Access SIG
Serials	Acquisitions SIG	Serials has its own channel apart from Acquisitions SIG:
Settings	N/A	For settings, refer to the SIG for the app the settings are for.
Users	User Management SIG Resource Access SIG

If your question spans more than one app, you may want the Cross-App Interaction SIG.

If something is broken in FOLIO and you just need help, you may want the Support SIG.

If you don't know what you need, ask for direction on the Implementers SIG slack channel.

SIGs by Common Keywords

Which SIG you need to ask really depends on the question, but here are some common keywords and where you probably need to go to get answers.

However, if you're not sure where your question belongs, you can always ask on the Implementers SIG slack channel.
