“FOLIO is a collaboration of libraries, developers and vendors building an open source library services platform. It supports traditional resource management functionality and can be extended into other institutional areas.” -folio.org

Since joining the Reporting Special Interest Group (SIG) in September 2018, I have held progressively more advanced leadership roles. I am currently co-convener of the Reporting SIG and team lead for Resource Access/User Management query development.

Responsibilities:

  • generating test data
  • writing PostgreSQL queries
  • reviewing queries for logic and style
  • creating and maintaining issues and documentation
  • helping to maintain the GitHub repository
  • developing and delivering training on reporting-related topics
  • organizing SIG and development team meetings
  • facilitating conversations with other FOLIO groups and community members
  • advocating for resources for reporting functionality
