What is MARC record validation
FOLIO already supports a basic level of MARC record validation when a user creates/edits/derives a MARC bib/authority/holdings record via quickMARC. This page represents additional development to support a.) robust record validation based on LOC MARC documentation and b.) library ability to customize default validation settings.
Why do MARC record validation
Cataloging team wants to make sure that their staff is following MARC standards and the library's cataloging rules to ensure consistency and quality in the bib/authority/holdings records that are used in many library workflows and is also made available to library users via discovery service/opac layers. Without validation, the library's catalog maybe difficult to search/browse and with missing/duplicate records.
