Data import - less about new functionality and more about performance, stability, reliability
Reporting - options for reporting are distributed and inconsistently available to different FOLIO libraries - how can we come up with a general reporting strategy to ensure all libraries have options available?
SIG process review - as product has matured, SIGs still “stuck in loop” of providing feedback and bringing issues to PO
Does this make sense?
What is a reasonable amount of effort from libraries and engagement with SIGs?
How could PC provide a better framework and structure for SIGs?
How can we keep people engaged when needed, but not schedule meetings just to keep people engaged?
@Martina Schildt : Sometimes difficult to say something is important “for the whole project” - e.g. c.200 GBV libraries currently have no use cases for data import even though maybe highly prioritised by other parts of the community
@Maura Byrne : There are multiple ways to report. Is the issue outreach? What does “inconsistently available” mean?
@Kristin Martin as long as there are libraries lacking reports they need we (PC) will hear from the community that they are lacking reporting solutions
@Charlotte Whitt need to make sure there is no misunderstanding - reporting solutions exist for Folio. But maybe the PC can document clearly what options are available and what different libraries are using. Also promote the Reporting SIG
@Owen Stephens SIG members may not have a very strategic/high level understanding of what options are available in their library or available to the product generally. There is an inherent tension here.
@Martina Schildt agree we can improve documentation around reporting
Several major reporting options exist
MetaDB/LDP
LDLite
direct API access with other tools
Lists app (early in development)
ByWater partner libraries use an option, which creates Views on the FOLIO Postgres DB to access remotely
EBSCO Panorama

Actions as regards Reporting discussion
@Kristin Martin follow up with@Jennifer Eustis to ask how the issues of documenting and promoting reporting SIG and reporting solutions could be brought up with the reporting SIG
Scope of FOLIO in relation to reporting topic that the PC should discuss again in future (add to Future topics list)
SIG Conveners to take back “List of integrations” page to their SIGs to see if these are useful and should be updated
@Kristin Martin to ask @Ingolf Kuss (Sys Ops SIG Convener) about the Integrations page and its use
SIG meeting health check:
@Maura Byrne number of meetings of User Management SIG cut to 2 per month (and only happen if needed)
PO is a Jira wrangler
Meetings tend to be focussed and quick
Considering setting up a “gripe” session to surface issues
@Martina Schildt ERM SIG now meets once per month, but two subgroups (Local KB, eHoldings) - so 3 meetings a month total. Meetings cancelled where no topics
Still big interest and good participation
Split of topics into subgroups (where not all libraries use all functionality) has re-invigorated the group as we are more focussed and people don’t need to attend all meetings
Actions re SIG health:
