  • Announcements that I will be retiring on May 31st so Paul Moeller from University of Colorado Bolder will take my seat on the PC–I will check on SIG liaison role
  • Roadmap and Prioritization working group presented an update of their work. The group will continue to work on an interim roadmap 
    • Good news that most of the themes reviewed have some development progress
    • need to rework some themes of the roadmap some are very broad and others very specific
    • work with SIGs with roadmap themes and associated JIRA features and work with POs on Epics, themes and development, taking into consideration PO dashboards
    • Roadmap cannot be static and needs to reflect ongoing development
    • Prioritization process will be done in AirTable and the RA SIG will pilot the software and process- will follow their progress on the pilot
  • Report from Community Council: Approved the Technical Council Charter; Examining the funding of FOLIO and the 60k costs for AWS, Boaz is leading a marketing team and forming a Resourcing working group
  • Report from Technical Council: Finished documenting their module review process, changes were made to Kafka and there will be guidance on the impact of those changes. TC will give guidance on release notes and how the changes will impact the project and finally the TC did not approve the Translations module (knowledgeware) because it will impact the underlying system architecture of FOLIO

MM SIG Release Note & Other Highlights

  • Data Import Production statistics - gathering information from everyone who is using data import currently. Add your data so the project can compare statistics from production sites.
  • Data Import documentation group. Work will be done in the data import lab on Thursdays at 3:00 PM Eastern time. 
    • There is also a new slack channel for the data import documentation work.(data-import-documentation-wg)
  • Orchid updates (see above link to MM Sig Release notes for more details about each of these topics:
    • marc-to-instance mapping updates
    • new contributor browse
    • breaking changes to apis - any scripts that use these apis will need to be updated.

FOLIO cataloging capabilities (slide deck)

Included functionality:

  • MARC authority (manual linking of a field in a bib record to an authority record - see MM Sig recording for a demonstration of how this works)
    • $ e will not be controlled by the link.
    • $0 will be controlled and will not be editable.
    • $1 will not be controlled; real world object uris will need to be manually added by the user.
    • $9 will not be allowed when it is not an authority record uuid for the linkable fields. 
  • Authority - headings change report (see MM SIG recording for a demonstration of reporting on changed headings)
  • MARC authority release migration - short term solution that programmatically takes all of the records in the system and runs it through data import. Jobs that say release migration - even if there are no changes all of the records.
  • Deleting authority records - when deleting authority records if there are any linked bib fields, the values in those bib fields will stay the same, but the field will become uncontrolled.
  • Item record - info tip that explains which field will display when browsing and which field is used for searching in order to clarify questions related to call number browse regarding what is seen vs what is taken into consideration when building the browse. 
  • Browse UX - In inventory the browse options are no longer under search; they are under the browse toggle. 
  • Print MARC bibs from the UI. 
  • New bug: when linking into Inventory from another app, the last search is retained in the search box and the search results window displays those results. (has been fixed in snapshot, but not in Orchid buffets yet.) - UIIN-2359 - Getting issue details... STATUS UIIN-2362 - Getting issue details... STATUS
