Latest FOLIO Platform Update to Enhance Acquisitions, Data Import, and Circulation

PHILADELPHIA, May 30, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The FOLIO Open Source Community has launched the fifteenth named release as the platform continues to add features and functionality to the library services platform (LSP). The Orchid Release updates existing apps and features, including acquisitions, data import, circulation, and more.

    --  Acquisitions: New "Version History" feature displays the history of
        edits for the Order and Order line records
    --  Data Import: Import orders in MARC format
    --  Circulation: Updates to lost item processing fees and fines to support
        actual cost

Director of Technical Services at the University of Chicago and Co-Chair of the FOLIO Product Council, Kristin Martin, explains the importance of a progressive LSP that meets every library's needs. "To keep up with evolving library workflows, FOLIO is committed to evolving with them. As more libraries implement the LSP, FOLIO developers are ready to enhance or replace platform components to meet their unique needs. The Orchid Release exemplifies FOLIO's commitment to listening to its members and offering the enhancements that greatly improve their experience."
