Acquisitions Sub-group presentation, update on vendors. Background:

• Discuss post on vendors, iteration 1:

• Acquisitions Documentation

Acquisitions Sub-group

A funds subgroup has formed. This will be the next task for stacks after working on the vendor app.

 Presentation of the vendor screen:

 -       Notes left in discuss will be included in the screen until next meeting

-       A relationship system between different vendor records might be useful for Merged vendors or Publisher imprints; relationships will be important for licenses + entitlements

-       Will there be more than one application in Folio to store Vendor related data or is this the vendor app the only place?

-       Vendor contacts should be linked to the general contacts app

-       Categories in the dropdown need to be adjustable for each institution
