Community Contributed Resources
This page is for community members and adopters to share resources that they are developing to help their libraries implement FOLIO.
Implementers are encouraged to post links to resources here that they are comfortable with other libraries re-using. Please provide a contact name for your institution so that people can reach out if they have more questions.
General FOLIO Resources
| Link / File | Resource Name / Information about how it can be used | Contact for more questions |
|---|---|---|
| Basic FOLIO Location Intro.pptx | Basic FOLIO Locations Intro - this was used in a small working group that decided how Duke was going to map Aleph location data to FOLIO location data. Used in Spring 2020. | |
| Intro to Service Points.pptx | Basic Introduction to FOLIO Service Points - this was used at Duke with a Resource Access implementation team to understand what service points are and how they are intended to be used. Used in Spring 2020. | |
| Capturing+Configurations.doc | Word Doc - instructions on how to use Google Developer tools to capture JSON when you are configuring FOLIO settings. Because FOLIO settings are not backed up into the LDP, it's a good idea to keep a copy of the work you are doing, unless you know that your hosting environment is doing it for you. | |
| Training Curriculum Plan (Draft) | From Duke - this is an in-progress glimpse at plans for training a large set of academic libraries with varying reporting timelines and needs. Uploaded March 2021. | |
| FOLIO Fun Facts | From Cornell - we send a "fun fact" out via e-mail once a week and add it to this page | Laura E Daniels |
