As a community-driven system, FOLIO thrives on engagement with its adopters. Join our panelists as they share their experiences with FOLIO pre-release testing and bug-reporting (Bugfest), highlighting the value of participating in this community event. Presenters will discuss how to stay informed about FOLIO development and release schedules, including key communications to watch for and how to prepare for an upgrade. They will offer practical advice, with real-life examples, on how FOLIO libraries can make the most of their dry-run environments, utilize training and other resources, and seamlessly integrate new and enhanced functionalities into everyday processes. Additional topics will include scheduling downtime, reporting issues, steps for upgrading to a new release, and where to find further information.

Attendees will learn firsthand how engaging in these processes ensures early issue detection, thorough staff preparation, and smooth upgrades, allowing the library to fully leverage FOLIO’s new features and improvements.
