The FOLIO Implementation Team met with the leads of the Five College Libraries working groups and representatives from FCLC earlier this week. We discussed the current FOLIO software development plan released by the FOLIO Product Council at the end of September and what we perceived as gaps in software functionality. Based on the pace of the software development and the set of features that will be available in early 2020 the Five College FOLIO Implementation Team has decided to focus our efforts on Electronic Resources Management and Acquisitions. The new plan we are developing will propose implementing parts of Electronic Resource Management and Acquisitions in FOLIO during the summer of 2020.
The plan is to continue work on implementing the other modules with the goal of having all modules live by the summer of 2021. The FOLIO community will simultaneously continue to complete and add new features which we think are important for our implementation as a consortium.
We plan on presenting a detailed project plan that reflects these changes later this fall.
