360 and Intota Services Roadmap – 2023

Overview

The 360 and Intota Services Roadmap comprises the key priorities for electronic resource management, analytics, and discovery support in the upcoming year. The 360 and Intota user community has officially voted on their priorities submitted through the Ideas Exchange. As Product Management and the Product Working Group work through those priorities together, we will update each roadmap placeholder.

The roadmap strikes a balance between necessary infrastructure investment and the resolution of issues reported by the community. Each quarterly release includes new features, problem resolutions, and infrastructure work that is detailed in the release notes. The roadmap also includes a new What's New column that provides details regarding new features. The roadmap is subject to change based on community feedback as well as shifting challenges and priorities.
