| 1 | Ability to insert diacritics for a MARC field A future FOLIO version will have the capability to insert diacritics from the quickMARC screen."Is there any current plan on when this would be? and is there any plan to allow such an option in instance only records? | IN PROGRESS |
| Jeanette Kalchik, Stanford Univ | Covered requirements
Post meeting note: Would it also be possible to add key commands? Jeanette Kalchik | Created a spike UIQM-503 - Getting issue details... STATUS 7/11 update: Since FOLIO is web based. We cannot build a tool. We cannot find a good Chrome plug-in to recommend. For now we will provide Documentation Working Group with information and we will add a tool tip. cc: Christine Schultz-Richert | |

| 3 | Marc authority functionality in Orchid: it's great to have the ability to link through from the quickMARC record to the Marc Authority app. How is it envisaged that libraries will deal with legacy headings? I can see us adding links to all new bib records, but what about the x thousands of existing records? Would there be a clever way to leverage authority data in bib records? (we get ours from Backstage) | OPEN |
| Ben Taylor / Trinity College | Heather Cleary / Otis College of Art & Design Adam Cottle / Skidmore College | November 15th meeting will be a discussion with NLA as to what they are doing. Will add documentation | |
| I am also interested in how the Authorities app handles legacy headings. I'm especially interested if/how the authorities data is getting sent to EDS (or other discovery systems). | OPEN |
| Heather Cleary / Otis College of Art and Design | Adam Cottle / Skidmore College | December 13 2023 - will be a requirements gathering session. | Mich State and Wellesley loads authorities to VuFind. Does not use FOLIO. Next step: schedule a meeting with Demian Katz and discovery contacts to make sure we understand expectations | |

| Use case for UXPROD-3910 Create authority record within the UI My* library collects/archives the doctoral theses of all of our graduating PhD students. The majority of these theses will not be published in the academic press. However, our policy is to create a name authority record for each of the students. We prefer the authority records NOT be stored on OCLC, as they are strictly for local use, therefore we need to be able to create them in FOLIO. (*Based on past experiences with libraries in MOBIUS.) | CLOSED | 20 Sep 2023 | Vivian Gould / MOBIUS | quickMARC subgroup meeting, 20 Sep 2023 Additional meeting to discuss: November 15 or possibly November 29 |
