FOLIO Analytics	https://github.com/folio-org/folio-analytics	A repository of reports and other analytics developed for FOLIO by the FOLIO Reporting SIG and based on the requirements of FOLIO partner libraries. Queries are designed to run on LDP/Metadb, an open source platform for analytics and an OLF-member project, and its development has included input from the FOLIO reporting community. See the FOLIO Forum discussion of reporting in February 2021 for an introduction. LDP is documented on GitHub: The User Guide: https://github.com/library-data-platform/ldp/blob/main/doc/User_Guide.md The LDP Administrator Guide: https://github.com/library-data-platform/ldp/blob/main/doc/Admin_Guide.md The next-generation of LDP is the Metadb analytics platform and is documented at: https://metadb.dev/doc/	The FOLIO Reporting SIG provides support for FOLIO reporting and data analytics through Slack channels and discussion forums on GitHub. For general questions, connect with the community by joining the Metadb Slack space and adding yourself to channels related to FOLIO reporting. You can also submit general questions via the Discussions board on our FOLIO Analytics repository. To make requests for new queries or query repository features, submit an issue for the FOLIO Analytics GitHub repository.
