Placeholder page until we have an end-to-end in hand.

Introduction

The intention of this round of testing is to cover the major use cases for resource sharing via DCB. What is reflected “in scope” is approximately 80% of the use cases required to have a complete solution supporting resource sharing. Over the coming months, the remainder of the use cases will be developed, tested and then supported on-going for Sierra, FOLIO, FOLIO ECS and Polaris.

During the beta testing phase, please be aware that updates to member records and transactions will take between 2-5 minutes to complete.
