FOLIO Migration

FOLIO Preparation for Instructors

Beginning in July, we expect several library links to break. Please ensure that all links to items in the catalog have additional information (a note, citation, or title), so that you will be able to find the item to replace the link once the transition happens. Guidance on eBook links can be found below. 

Physical Items

Links to any item in the current GIL-Find catalog will break. To easily find the item once we migrate to Folio, please make sure you have more than just a library link in BlazeVIEW or your syllabus. Supplement the link with a citation, or a note. When the new system is live you can look up the book by title and/or author and add a new link. 

Example: 

Instead of:
https://galileo-valdosta.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01GALI_VALDOSTA/eeo9m8/alma995924754802962 

Use:
Tolkien, J. R. R. (John R. R. (1993). The two towers: Being the second part of The Lord of the Rings (Second edition.). Houghton Mifflin Company. https://galileo-valdosta.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01GALI_VALDOSTA/eeo9m8/alma995924754802962  

You can grab the citation for the work on the details page. 

eBooks

To make sure links to eBooks will not break, check to make sure they go directly to the eBook instead of to the catalog. 

Example: 

This is a link directly to eBook Central and will not break.  
https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/valdosta/detail.action?docID=2054996

Examples of Links that Require Updates: Linking to Library Record in the catalog. If the link has the word primo in it, it will break! Please update this link!
