Hello everyone,
FLO will be holding ReShare training for the 2025 Cohort libraries that
have recently migrated to FOLIO. Staff from any of our previously migrated
libraries are welcome to join this training as a refresher!
This will be a condensed training compared to last year's ReShare training
and will take place on *Tuesday, July 1, 2025 from 2:00pm - 4:00pm.* I will
send out a Zoom link closer to the training date. We will also record the
training for those who cannot attend.
Let me know if you have any questions in the meantime!
Regards,
Jenn

Hello everyone,
As part of the ReShare launch, we would like to test and make sure that
ReShare requests are working as expected. To that end, *we'd ask that
everyone (excluding Simmons) please place at least one test request with
each FLO ReShare library this week.* You can then follow the usual
lenders/borrowers workflow for the test requests in ReShare without sending
the physical items.
Please place the test requests through vufind (as if you were a patron) so
that we can make sure your SSO is working and patrons won't have any
issues. *Be sure to add a borrower's note that the request is a test
request!*
Let me know if your library won't be able to test this week and we can plan
on testing when you are available.
If you do notice an issue please submit a ticket to the helpdesk.
See the FLO ReShare training

if you have any questions and feel free to drop by for tomorrow's office
hours.
Regards,
Jenn

Hello everyone,
Login information for your ReShare staff accounts was sent out last week.
Let me know if you have any issues logging in to your staff accounts. You
can log in to ReShare and begin testing from *now until the end of business
on 8/1*. Index Data will wipe test data so that we have a fresh system on
our go-live date of Monday, 8/5.
If you encounter any issues during testing, please report them here: ReShare
Issues Tracker
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zOXvM4P9GrHKTFdMMbXtHzLSFG8zTCmcng6…>
Remember that ReShare is connected to your production FOLIO instances!
Don't send out any books to fill ReShare requests until we go live.
Regards,
Jenn

Hello everyone,
Index Data will be testing ReShare/FOLIO requesting this week. You won't
need to do anything, but I'm giving you a heads up because you may notice
activity on the test records/patrons in your production FOLIO instances
during testing.
We will let you know if/when there is any testing you need to do. In
the meantime, don't forget that ReShare training will be next week! We will
be sending out the Zoom link prior to training next Wednesday 7/24.
Regards,
Jenn

Hello everyone,
We anticipate that IndexData will be reaching out to you next week to begin
setting up SSO for the ReShare OPAC (VuFind). In the meantime, you may want
to alert your IT department that we will be setting up SSO with the ReShare
VuFind in the near future.
