Project Management – Page 4 – Five College Libraries FOLIO Implementation

Aleph Advisory Group (AAG)

Successful system migrations include a preparation stage where data is cleaned. Correcting errors and aligning fields across the Five Colleges prior to moving to FOLIO will aide in a smooth data transfer. Further, clean data enables library staff to manage our resources so our patrons have an improved search and retrieval experience.

Aleph Advisory Group (AAG) is currently coordinating efforts across the Five Colleges to align bib/item formats, and to correct incorrectly assigned call number types. We are also considering what data can be left behind (i.e. old patron records), This is a large effort that is starting to pick up steam! Do you have a suggestion for a data clean up project? Contact your local FIT or AAG representative.

FOLIO Roadmap

The latest FOLIO Forum provided an update to the FOLIO Roadmap. Harry Kaplanian, FOLIO Product Manager from EBSCO reviewed how the Roadmap process is used to manage development work on the project. He also demonstrated several functions currently in FOLIO.

Portugal Presentation

Kat Berry delivered a presentation at a FOLIO Day at the University of Lisbon, Portugal on November 30th. This FOLIO Day was very similar to the one we had at Hampshire College last October 2017. The presentation focused on how the Five Colleges made the decision to move to FOLIO and why we are adopting a single tenant model for our consortia.
