Discussion items
| Announcements | Last year, ARLEF had an ad-hoc meeting on the status of Data Import. The ARLEF IT Directors are looking to schedule an update on progress on Data Import scheduled for 2/28/2024 at 3pm EST. Documentation: 2023 ARLEF issues on Data Import, 2023 ARLEF Call | Slide Deck. | |
| Multiple/Alternate Graphical Representations | (draft of document originally created with Christie Thomas, Jacquie Samples) -What changes are needed to the Inventory data model? -How should these changes display in both View and Edit modes? | |
| Updating bound-with holdings records | Wellesley College is undergoing a major library renovation. All collections have been moved to remote storage for the duration, barring a small number of materials held back for teaching. We have applied temporary locations for all Item records (and journal/serial Holding records as they have no Item records). During our spot checking to make sure we caught everything, we found oddities stemming from bound-with items. Because bound-withs in the FOLIO data structure consist of one Item record attached to multiple Holdings records, the temporary location is only being applied to the parent/primary Holding record and not the other Holding records. Not an ideal situation for managing and providing accurate locations of our materials.
What is being presented to the end user is extremely confusing when they can see that one title is available but another is not. Wellesley College used VuFind as the library catalog.

| PC updates | Jennifer Eustis | The PC met today, 2024-01-25 Product Council Agenda and Meeting Notes, to discuss Direct Consortial Borrowing (DCB) integration. There is new back end functionality that is for the most part contract work for Mobius and Galileo, for borrowing. Open RS is the platform for resource sharing and includes DCB, document delivery, and are talking about ILL and CDL. There is no impact for those institutions that won't use this functionality. For those using ECS, the consortial FOLIO, you need DCM. The consortial system would install open RS and any member/partner institution would need DCB as a client to connect to it. Please see details and the record for a more thorough explanation of this functionality. |
| BELA (Bulk Edit and Lists App) | BELA meet this past Tuesday, 2024-01-23 BELA Meeting Notes. Amanda Ros is the new liaison to the App Interaction SG. We discussed a performance issue detailed in MODBULKOPS-211 and 212 where larger files slow everything down. This Spike will investigate the issues to try to identify what the problem(s) are. There was a good discussion on errors versus warnings. For example, the group through that duplicate entries in the incoming file would be a warning whereas if one identifier brought back multiple records, this would be an error. We continued the discussion of what we expect for updating one property with no change in value and updating two properties with no change in one value. | |
| Data Import Working Group | DI meet yesterday, 2024-1-24 Data Import Subgroup meeting. There is now a new spreadsheet to track issues, Data Import Topic Tracker. The hope is that this will provide transparency on when issues were discussed, if there is a Jira associated with it, and the progress of the issue. We will also be creating an audit functionality spreadsheet and will start with the expected behavior for deduping the 856. We've asked Ryan to get a summary of how this functionality works now from the developers. We are looking for volunteers to help with adding issues to our topic tracker. |
