2018-10-24 - Consortia SIG Notes

Overview of ReShare project

• timeline, partners, etc.
• architecture overview and potential role of FOLIO inventory
• opportunities for collaboration with Consortia SIG 

Overview

• Participants - several consortia and organizations involved in initial activities (though no formalized partnerships at this point)
• Vision: community owned technology infrastructure to support resource sharing
• relationship to FOLIO - shared platform, but independent roadmap, stakeholder group, etc.
• minimum viable product
  • library directory, discovery, real-time availability, fulfillment
  • fulfillment: requesting, supplying, shipping, reporting
• questions for discussion
  • role of FOLIO shared inventory for shared index
  • how would ReShare index function with external shared indexes?

Lots to think about!
