2023-09-20 Meeting notes

Jamie Jesanis from MCP new position. They're implementing FOLIO in Summer 2024.

Cathy Tuohy Emmanuel project lead for EMC also going in Summer 2024 - has been going to various meetings representing all workflow. 

Cathy mentioned as an aside that Emmanuel will use VuFind as their front end.

Chuck Koontz using EBSCO folio using EDS.

Amelia mentioned some SSO issues their IT are working on as it’s up and down.

Chuck mentioned they are working on self check and also would like to get RFID.  Issues with how users are recognized by kiosk.  Most users use mobile app to tap into building, etc.

Checkout in Folio allows various ways of identifying a user (barcode, username, external id, etc.), but with the kiosk and SIP2 you have to pick only one.

Is anyone aware of how the checkout app works?

Amelia mentioned Five Colleges uses barcode with SIP2.  As far checkout Amelia will try to get more info – checked JIRA to see if there was any work on this.

Chuck said they will likely adjust their patron load for the mapping.  Community users get a physical card w/value stored in a different place.  Curious what is happening when a value is entered into the checkout box (Linkso has a script).

Amelia brought up dev tools using snapshot to see what checkout did and also played with various values.  Looked at circ settings in Folio as well. Also did a bulk edit local to upload modified records, but can also do it through the API.
