Question from SIG member: When Ann-Marie was giving presentations on MARCCat at Wolfcon, I got the impression that the possibility of MARC holding records being created and edited via marccat was still being discussed, although I may be mistaken. Is it the case that there is no intention to allow the creation and editing of MARC holding records via MARCCat?

2. Holdings & Item data: will it live in both Inventory storage and MARCcat or just Inventory?

• V1 = Inventory only

• Post-v1 = perhaps be able to edit/synchronize via MARCcat as well; this does not need to be decided yet

Outstanding question

• Need to figure out whether MARC Holdings Storage work (now marked as v1?) can be confirmed for v1

• Do any of the early adopters need MARC Holdings storage? (CW: followed up with Chalmers - and they do not want to continue with MARC holdings)

• We will ensure all elements of MARC holdings are retained in FOLIO holdings

• If libraries need to exchange holdings info with other libraries in MARC holdings format, then we would need a way to convert FOLIO holdings into MARC upon export
