1. Library of Congress adopting FOLIO means they will be driving a lot of big performance updates on a condensed timeline

   1. Including big focus on acquisitions functionality, metadata management, and consortial/sharing functionality

   2. They plan to implement in October of 2024

2. Relevant info from the 18-month road map for FOLIO (see

   View file
   name Roadmap(2).pptx

   for details)

   1. Data Import performance and stabilization a high priority

      1. Including chunking up large files automatically so Data Import doesn’t choke

   2. Search and browse improvements for Inventory

   3. Suppressing and deleting records via Bulk Edit

3. New apps planned for FOLIO

   1. Lists app – similar in function to Sierra’s Create Lists

      1. Plans to make it possible to use Bulk Edit on record sets created with this app; for now though, it will only collect records based on certain search criteria, and record numbers can be exported to CSV

      2. Expected in Poppy (so January-ish for us)

   2. Workflow engine – automating a set of tasks based on a certain trigger

      1. Ex: when an Instance as marked with statistical code CATMAN--WITHDRAWN, automatically delete holdings and item and add specified administrative note to Instance

   3. Reporting app called MetaDB – some possibilities here, being discussed with Dao, Lucas, and Kay

      1. Reporting has been a significant gap in Folio functionality, so we are looking forward to this

4. Autumn learned more about how to submit a “bug” in Jira – i.e., report discovered problems in Folio and get them in the queue for software developers to resolve

   1. You can explore issues.folio.org for examples of other tickets (use your Folio login)

   2. Lots of confusing terminology here but also lots of rich detail about what’s in the works

5. Check OLF’s YouTube playlist for WOLFcon 2023 as presentation recordings get added

   1. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMocoPoiGkwe9bmaKqDl1uA_S4myQb49M

• Joshua attended an Orchid update session led by Molly Driscoll.

• Molly highlighting in passing some differences in search vs. browse behavior in Orhid.

• Joshua demonstrated how queries entered under the browse tab in Inventory in Orchid (e.g. for subject or contributor) take you first to a list of results in shelflist order. Selecting a result passes you through to a search function for the exact AAP matching your selected browse result, but clicking on the browse tab again returns you to your browse results. So unlike earlier releases, you can revisit your browse list after selecting a result.

• Issues remain re: indexing of ending punctuation in contributor values in the instance. For example, newly created instance records (i.e. derived from a newly imported SRS record) will include the comma preceding $e in the indexing. Legacy, migrated records do not do this. This difference in indexing behavior results in split files when browsing contributor in Inventory.
