FOLIO@Duke Newsletter v. 1 no. 1

The FOLIO@Duke Newsletter is a communications tool intended to keep staff abreast of news, schedules and important information regarding the development and implementation of FOLIO at Duke. We will regularly convey four main cornerstones of the project in each newsletter. Those cornerstones are Steering Group Updates, highlights of the project’s driving values and road map, discussion of FOLIO design and functionality, and updates about Duke’s migration activities and timeline.

By supporting Index Data in this process, Duke will help to ensure a diversity of high-quality service offerings within the FOLIO community.

What is an LSP?

LSP stands for Library Services Platform. Instead of one monolithic integrated library system (ILS) that contains all of the workflows and all of the data involved in resource management, a Library Services Platform offers modular applications where each application can specialize in one function and keep the data related to that related to that function. The specialized applications communicate via APIs, over the web. The LSP allows for the connections to knowledge bases, shared indexes or link resolvers. An LSP may also allow the connection to external applications that are related to library resource management but have not been part of traditional ILS such as external reporting applications, data repositories, or even workflow engines.

Steering Group Update

A Duke University Libraries committee you haven’t heard of? Shocking, right? The Library Services Platform Steering Group (LSPSG) is comprised of Laura Cappelletti, Dracine Hodges, Andrea Loigman, Karen Newbery, and Sarah Schmidt. This group replaces the ILS Transition Steering Group with several members continuing service (Dracine, Andrea, and Sarah).
The LSPSG are tasked with providing leadership for DUL as we prepare to migrate to our next library service platform (i.e.from ALEPH to FOLIO). This migration is planned for the summer of 2020, ideally as FY20 ends. The LSPSG meets monthly and is in frequent contact with one another. This newsletter will be issued monthly to help you all keep up with what is happening on the FOLIO front. At any time, if you have a question about FOLIO, please don’t hesitate to talk to any member of the LSPSG.

The FOLIO Product Council acts on behalf of the OLE Community and FOLIO partners to express and champion priorities in the development of the FOLIO Library Service Platform, and ensure the relevance and cohesiveness of the FOLIO project. It’s mission was outlined in the FOLIO Product Council Charter dated 2017-02-13. Dracine Hodges is Duke’s representative on the Product Council.

Communication

We hear you! Communication will be a huge part of the FOLIO project here at Duke, and we’re refocusing on ways to better communicate—starting with this newsletter! Look for additional newsletters, blog posts, status updates at open meetings, updates on our wiki.

Bee Facts

Honey has natural preservatives and bacteria can’t grow in it.

Bees have five eyes – two compound eyes and three tiny ocelli eyes.

Bees have two stomachs – one stomach for eating and the other special stomach is for storing nectar collected from flowers or water so that they can carry it back to their hive.
