All,
The SC&A Working Group was on the agenda in yesterday’s FOLIO PC call. You can find a summary of the discussion in the call notes at
https://bit.ly/2AX8nGh.
The PC members recognize that the SC&A community represents a good test case for expanding FOLIO’s purview beyond the usual ILS/LMS box. Basically, the question for us is: Do we want to spin up a separate SC&A SIG, or do we want to form
an SC&A subgroup within an existing SIG or SIGs? The subgroup approach is already being used in the Metadata Management and Systems Operations and Management SIGs:
·
MM MARCcat Subgroup : https://wiki.folio.org/display/MM/MARCcat+Subgroup
·
SysOps Data Migration Subgroup :
https://wiki.folio.org/display/SYSOPS/Data+Migration+Subgroup
Forming an SC&A subgroup within one or more SIGs might be a good way to keep momentum going in this area.
I’ll be dialing into Zoom on Monday, November 12 at 2:00 PM Eastern/1:00 PM Central. Feel free to join if you are interested in having SC&A development needs represented in an existing SIG or SIGs.
Best,
Aaron
