(Always) Recruiting New Query Developers

  • The Reporting SIG is always on the look-out for new query developers. Please let us know if you are interested in doing query development or if there are others at your institution who might be a good fit.

 

SIG Onboarding, Part 1: About FOLIO, About the Reporting SIG

Angela

  • What is FOLIO

  • What are LDP1 and Metadb (and related tools)

  • Scope of the Reporting SIG

Onboarding Slides, Part 1

Thoughts:

  • This is a great starting point, especially for new staff just getting used to project

  • Something like this would work for other SIGs

  • Appreciated going over the website

  • Go into more info about why ldpmarc is separate - maybe because not everyone uses MARC? Also, LDP pre-dated ldpmarc. Maybe going to combine ldpmarc with Metadb. Also inspired by Chicago's previous system for tabular MARC data.

  • More on derived tables?

  • Realized that FOLIO doesn't have history, just LDP1 and Metadb

  • When will we do part 2?

    • Maybe early May - May 4

  • Custom tables in part 2?

External Statistics Working Group

  • no updates currently

  • new organizational/tracking scheme for JIRA, with pointers to queries in folio-analytics repository

  • New organizational structure for External Statistics reports

    • external statistics reports (e.g., ACRL) typically require running queries from different functional reporting areas

    • these reports will be captured in JIRA under one UXPROD-XXXX report cluster issue, then the descriptions will point to each of the queries required to run them on the folio-analytics repository

    • institutions will need to rank each of these 8 new UXPROD-XXXX report cluster issues

    • each reporting development team will take responsibility for the queries in their area for the external statistics clusters
