2022. FOLIO 14 brings electronic resource management



In the ineffable style of Douglas Adams: The FOLIO Open Source Community, in its infinite wisdom (or perhaps mild exasperation with librarians’ daily woes), has unleashed upon the world a grand new iteration of its Library Management system, namely FOLIO 14. Now, this marvel of digital engineering and library science comes packed with such an alarming array of features that it might just render librarians speechless or at least induce them to make appreciative noises. This latest release wends its way through various applications with updates to acquisitions, bulk-edit, and electronic resource management (ERM) — the usual parade of things that look mind-bogglingly complex but, on closer inspection, seem oddly necessary. FOLIO 14 bestows librarians with smoother cataloging, niftier data import and export, and circulation enhancements through a mystifyingly helpful calendar app. In the realm of acquisitions, it now permits the fiscally adventurous to preview rollovers, generate invoices at the flick of a metaphorical switch, and manage the labyrinthine GOBI integration through a rather snazzy interface. ERM enhancements extend to keyword searching that is actually useful, more powerful agreement filtering, and exporting prowess that even allows the sharing of package details through the eholdings app. Bulk-editing has taken a significant leap, too, as one may now alter user records, FOLIO holdings, and item loan types en masse — a feat best appreciated by those with many, many records to wrangle. All in all, it’s the kind of update that might just make librarians crack a smile... if they're not too busy marveling at the sheer improbability of it all.
