FOLIO and OpenRS Enhancements Committee
Charge
The FOLIO and OpenRS Enhancements Committee is charged with soliciting and reviewing enhancement requests to the FOLIO, Locate, and OpenRS products from the MOBIUS membership. The Committee will identify which enhancements have the most utility and will serve the broadest spectrum of users. The Committee will also identify the priority level for individual enhancements.
The Committee is also charged with formulating procedures for the enhancement request process, including, but not limited to:
- How enhancement requests are solicited from and submitted by the membership;
- How enhancement requests are vetted and prioritized by the Committee;
- How enhancement requests are submitted and processed, subsequent to Committee records (e.g. sent to EBSCO and/or K-Int; moved through the community special interest groups (SIGS));
- How enhancement requests are managed on the MOBIUS end;
- How the status of enhancement requests is communicated to the membership.
The Committee will be comprised of members with expertise in various areas (cataloging, acquisitions, access and public services, etc.) to ensure that enhancement requests are properly vetted.
