Fenway Libraries Online (FLO) is seeking proposals to modify CORAL to enable the ability to record and report Resource and Organization cost histories. Fenway Libraries Online, Inc. <http://www.flo.org/>, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, is a consortium of ten academic and special libraries located in Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts. CORAL is an Electronic Resources Management System consisting of interoperable modules designed around the core components of managing electronic resources. It is made available as a free, open source program. Contributions to the main CORAL code base must be approved by the CORAL governance committee The goal of the Resource Cost History and Reporting Enhancement is to modify the Resources module to allow for the recording of subscription and cost information over subsequent renewals. The enhancement includes the addition of a year and note field to the Acquisitions tab and database tables. The Expanded Cost History enhancement option adds expanded cost history functionality that includes several additional cost-related fields. The enhancement specification also includes the extension and renaming of the current Usage Report module to include Cost History Reporting. Attached to this email is the detailed RFP and Cost History Specification. We welcome questions and proposals from all parties experienced with CORAL functionality and programming. We also encourage CORAL users to share the RFP and Spec with developers possessing the necessary skill set. Our timeline proposes to have the final code available by December, 2104.
