2024 Discovery API Improvements 

Minutes

  • WolfCon 2024 
    • Follow up themes/answers to our questions
      • Suggested to join Linked Data, discovery should be discussed more there
        • Somebody from the group could report back?
      • Aspen discovery, will that be integrated with FOLIO? Nobody using Aspen/FOLIO yet that we know.
      • New survey?
        • Not duplicating the survey anytime soon since we still need to work on the findings.
        • We could do a new survey if the community had a specific question.
      • ERM licenses for e-Resources, how can they show in discovery?
        • KB collections vs instances for e-Resources
          • Different people put license information in different places (aka MARC fields/506 vs FOLIO license fields)
            • Catalog Records
            • Discovery Index Records
          • Do a Prototype for instance with attached license terms using soft order linking?
            • Need info/diagram of how these connect
            • Link Resolver proof of concept
        • What are the issues with e-Resource management in FOLIO?
          • Is this part of our group's topic? 
            • ERM subgroups: eHoldings 
            • How to link instance to agreement (thus for licenses)
      • Volume/issue/enumeration, is that solved?
        • EBSCO is working on solving it
        • Still needs to be resolved
      • New edge RTAC solution needed
        • Very positive received from this presentation.
        • Question: how can we work towards this?
          • Working on prototype/proof on concept for RTAC solution, discussed with both EBSCO/VuFind
  • Are we a SIG? Should we submit to monthly SIG report? - moved to next meeting
  • Any additional steps for listed improvements? - moved to next meeting
    • EDS - Customize column labels
      • We would love a set of pre-determined label options: Like Shelf mark vs Call number, Status vs Availability, Holdings info vs Holdings statement, etc. Anyone care to provide comment and suggestions?
        • Current: Status: | Due date: | Loan Type: | Location: | Call Number:
    • I added a few more Jira tickets, including MODINVSTOR-1266
