As noted by Joe in the Polaris Acquisitions presentation drive.google.com/open?id=1KW… that I did at #iug2018, EDI is now licensed per system rather than per vendor in Polaris. See this recent announcement for more info: drive.google.com/open?id=1c9… #WeLoveDiscounts
Same with one of our members too. Yep, fines free isn't a new thing. But it is gaining in popularity. #IUG2018 teapaw.org/trevordsmith100/status…
Come to the dark side, the water is fine ;) If you want your mind really blown, compare load profiles with Polaris' import profiles. #IUG2018 teapaw.org/trevordsmith100/status…
Getting a sense of how Polaris does reports and OH MY GOD I WANT THIS. Their approach seems so much more flexible than Sierra's collection of diff canned reports. #IUG2018 #GrassIsGreenerOnOtherSide
Launching a new service that might change the patron experience? If you're making the change to save money make sure to promote that fact #iug2018
Not sure if your patrons want something in the collection? Add an on order record and see if anyone places it on hold BEFORE you buy it. If there is enough interest, then buy it. #IUG2018
Staff side of patron request system allows for pre-canned messaging to let patrons know if the library is going to make the purchase. #iug2018
Helpful to require a library card to make purchase suggestions. Reduces the amount of publisher "spam" that had happened using other methods. #iug2018
Bestsellers book challenges. Folks that want the newest from an author, but only in a particular series. #iug2018
For those that would like slides to my Polaris Acquisitions for System Administrators session, see: go.clcohio.org/iug2018 . Thanks for attending! #iug2018
Innovative has a position statement internally about making sure that everything defaults to https. A work in progress but a good aspirational goal. #iug2018
GDPR messaging is tardy but is coming from Innovative. Some information is available if you request it in supportal. #iug2018
IMHO, the GDPR pricinpals are great guidelines, but I'm glad I don't have to follow them to the letter, today. We'll benefit from the work, but we'll be able to roll it out on our own. #WeHaveWeirdLawsToo #IUG2018
Current security and privacy focus is GDPR. Because it carries fines of 4% of renvue it is getting lots of attention in all industries. #iug2018
There is a public drop box with Innovative's security policies available. Not sure of the URL but worth looking into. Might be good starting point for your own policies. Not 100% sure of the URL. #iug2018
Scope of compliance is important when thinking about certifications. Sometimes only the hosting is certificated not the application itself. #IUG2018
I can certainly see the value of context with a huge union catalog. In fact it might be most valuable there. #IUG2018
Well, the whole company seems to be singing from the linked data playbook. #notabadthing #IUG2018
Very excited about onix data enrichment. Does anyone know how that is licensed? Will it be similar to syndetics? #iug2018 teapaw.org/jmgold/status/98920379…

Planning for bidirectional MARC, not converting records but they can be updated by linked data changes #IUG2018
