FOLIO Status
As of Thursday, June 30th, 2022, MSU Main Libraries, MSU Law Library and The Library of Michigan are LIVE on FOLIO.
FOLIO Production is on: Orchid-SP-6 (release notes)
FOLIO Test is on: Orchid-SP-6 (release notes)
New cataloging in FOLIO is proceeding for those appropriately trained.
Until Morning Glory, Acquisitions staff will not be creating holdings and item records when ordering or receiving materials.
We cannot create new, OR edit, bound-with or analytic records (although all of our existing ones were migrated). Functionality is expected with the Morning Glory release. Expect irregularities and oddities.
Spine call number printing is not yet available. Cat Man will be manually creating these.
Authority work is limited until the next FOLIO release. Contact Lisa Robinson with any questions.
The serials check in and bindery workflow is under development and revision.
Report generation in FOLIO is still a work in progress and discovery.
Contact your supervisor with any questions or concerns.
(See the authorities processing procedures for more info.)
