Good morning all,
Friendly reminder to please respond to the Doodle for your FOLIO/VuFind training sessions if you haven't already. I'll be closing the poll this *Friday, March 14th* and announcing the date/times on Monday, March 17th.
*Training Doodle: *https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/aKz3oxRe
Some FAQ responses:
- All trainings will be recorded (except for the exercises) - All trainings are open to anyone who will be using FOLIO or VuFind. Other systems (like ReShare) will have separate trainings. - Staff are welcome to skip days that are irrelevant to them
Basic training outline:
- Day 1 - FOLIO basics, Inventory and VuFind searching and record structure - Day 2 - Users app, circulation apps, requesting (in FOLIO and VuFind) - Day 3 - Fees/fines, courses/course reserves, reporting & statistics - Day 4 - Cataloging (Inventory app), Bulk Edit app, Data Import/Export apps, MARCAuthority - Day 5 - ERM, Serials and Acquisitions

Hello all,
Based on my email poll last week, the week that would work best for all libraries was March 31st - April 4th. Now we need to decide which time slots will work the best. We'll be breaking up the training into 3 hour chunks with plenty of time for hands-on exercises and questions. All training sessions are recorded.

In addition to the week long Zoom training, FLO provides a series of asynchronous training units on our members' website for you to go through at any time. The units are split up based on app/focus area and you're welcome to jump around to whichever ones are most helpful for your position. I recommend going through this training prior to attending the "live" training, as time permits.
