Recently, we learned about FOLIO’s roadmap
<https://www.openlibraryenvironment.org/archives/246> for development from
Harry Kaplanian at EBSCO. The FOLIO project is a joint venture and will be
relying upon the experiences and knowledge of functional experts across the
library world. Teams of experts are being organized into Special Interest
Groups (SIGs), such as the *Metadata Management SIG*
<https://wiki.folio.org/x/ZYMV>, to work on different functional areas of
development for the FOLIO suite of software. Within the SIGs both
functional experts from libraries and project developers work closely
together with user experience designers and project developers to develop
FOLIO. This forum will provide a history of work done to date on FOLIO
using SIGs, as well as information on new SIGs being organized around the
functional areas of access management, user management, and metadata
management. We will also go into more detail and provide a summary of work
currently underway by the Resource Management SIG. We will cover the
different communication channels and opportunities for additional
involvement by interested experts.
