2024-2025 Projects
The FSG is excited to present these major projects for consideration in the upcoming 2024-2025 term. We will choose two or three of these projects to move into production:
- Letters – we will work on making Alma emails and notifications more accessible, and work to make our ongoing Letter Project more comprehensive and usable.
- Calendars – how are they edited, what can they control, and how can they be used with Fulfillment Unit Rules and due dates?
- Diving into Course Reserves – reserves was the focus of our initial project when FSG was in its infancy but it’s time to revisit this topic with an eye toward new functionality and streamlining processes, including course loaders, bookstore connections, and analytics.
- Work Orders – what make them work and how to make them work even better!
Recently Completed Projects
- Life-Cycle of a Loan – A thematic series of documentation following the loan of a physical item from request through loan through overdue through replacement billing.
- Terms of Use and Fulfillment Unit Rules Cleanup – This project focused on processes and best practices for cleaning up the old and unnecessary TOUs and FURs still present in most of our system from early migration days.
Documentation
Our group is always creating new documentation and updating the resources we’ve already accumulated. Our work can be found in the Fulfillment Essentials section. Check back regularly to see what’s new!
