2025-01-13 Resource Access Meeting Notes

At the Resource Access SIG meeting this Monday we talked about Course Reserves and lack of development in that area, so we are trying to assess interest in the Courses app.Is your library using the Courses app in Folio? Do you think that app needs some development?
If there are enough interested libraries, we will create a working group, collect the suggestions for the missing functionality and then hopefully share this information with the Product Council and lobby for its development. My personal hope is that the Courses app will be supported like any other app in Folio and the updates will be happening on the regular basis. Please mark your calendars if you are interested in attending the meeting.

Meeting Notes

Olga Kalachinskaya introduced the topic. Goal of today's meeting is to discuss needs, strategize for advocating for development.

How to move forward to develop a bug/feature list and prioritize development. Should we develop a subgroup.

Thomas Trutt did write up some tickets following a conversation at implementers meeting. Suggested that having a PO will be needed a little further down the road. It shouldn't prevent us from writing up tickets.

Institutions with interest: German libraries, Five Colleges, Emerson College, MA College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, MTSU, MSU, Wellesley, University of Canterbury

Will meet every other Thursday for sub-group. Olga Kalachinskaya is willing to chair the group but would love a co-chair.

Begin by reviewing existing tickets. One central ticket can be linked under UXPROD-791, the umbrella ticket.

First meeting will be Thursday, January 23rd at 11:00am using the regular RA SIG. Susan Kimball will add folks to the invite for the RA-Reserves subgroup.

Anyone interested should see the RA-Reserves Wiki page and subscribe to the ra-reserves Slack channel.
