Background Information

What is the current ILS at your institution?

Homemade ILS

What is the date of your fiscal year end? Please do not include a range of your fiscal year.

12/31

How is your implementation team organized?

Atcult , with the support of Ebsco, and inhouse technical team

Has your institution hired additional staff? How were they funded?

No.

Is your institution planning to be hosted? Self-hosting? Still considering both options? Please explain.

EBSCO hosting for folio; self-hosting for other tools (OPAC, website)

Is your institution considering a partial implementation, such as the ERM first? Please explain.

 The institution is considering a partial implementation. They want to use the Resource Access app to manage the essential circulation functions. For this reason they need to have also the Inventory app, in order to interact with the holdings and items (see and  check their availability and status).  They need to set also the different user authorizations and access. 

Does your institution plan to run FOLIO in parallel with your current ILS? How long? Please explain.

No.

How sure are you of the plans described above? Why or why not?

The plans are with strict deadlines and penalties.

What concerns do you have? What do you hope to get out of participating in this group?

We need to plan a joint prioritisation of outstanding tasks for BNCF. There are a lot of BNCF requirements that are mandatory for BNCF.

We need also to be able to reproduce in FOLIO the BNCF circulation workflow. BNCF is a National Library, so it is obliged to respect some conditions and government rules.
