The PC had a few guests at today's meeting. These are people helping with a revamp of the FOLIO website. They did a small demo using wireframes. They showed how the website is being reorganized to address the various audiences that may be interested in FOLIO. Dracine guesses the website relaunch will be in the next few months. A new FOLIO logo will be debuted at next week's meeting. There is a call for FOLIO presentations at NASIG. If anyone is interested, please reach out to Rachel Fadlon, EBSCO representative. The NASIG conference will be in Atlanta in June of this year. http://www.nasig.org/site_page.cfm?pk_association_webpage_menu=700

Cataloging Starting Places:
Templates for original cataloging
External database sources
Loading from a file
Searches
There are more than 400 indexes for searching bibliographic, authority, or holding records, as well as inventory.
Holdings contain data related to the copy (i.e. barcodes, circulation rules)
Inventory contain data related to Acquisition information.
Views
Libraries can define "views" that highlight different aspects of the same record.
Example Search: ti harry potter (This will give all of the records in which Harry Potter is included.) Scan gives a results list.
Result screen:
NT: Indicates a name/title access point is available
Refs: Cross reference
A: Authority Heading
Docs:
Level:
Index: Language of cataloging
From the results screen a headings list can be derrived, and those headings can be search
Example Search 2: na kafka
Result screen:
From here URI associations from various sources can be made. (Sources: VIAF, LOC authorities, ISNI). The URI can be added to the record right from the cataloging interface. The URI can be added into the record.
Example Search 3: na rowling, j.k.
Results screen:

Example Search 4: ntn rowling, j.k.
Results screen:
A new name/title heading can be created from the results. The authoritative name can be related to the title.
Load from VIAF
From this screen, a new authority record can be loaded from an external source like VIAF. The record is then imported into the local database.
The detailed parts from the VIAF authority record can be selected for what is useful to your system. See also references can be limited to the language useful to your library if necessary, for example.
External searching for bib records
The system can be configured to search other databases. It uses Z39.50, or can search by API. OCLC can be added for this search.
Upload from file
Input methods:
"Load server mode"
"Overwrite record"
Example: MARC record loaded. MARC 21,UNIMRC, ONIX 3.0 are uploadable formats.
A list of records that are in the upload record file is displayed by the system.
New record
A list of templates are given.
They are working to be able to work in RDA. At this point the workflow originates with MARC 21 formatting.
Authoritative forms of name headings can be called up from VIAF or other authority file into the cataloging record.
RDA tags are available for selection.
A list of standard, frequently used notes can be created and drawn from during this process.
A new name heading can be created if it is not available from an external authority file.
Record can be derrived from other existing records in the catalog.
A relationship can be created as well, that will relate a print to an electronic item, for example.
All MARC21 defined relationships can be established.
A digital ??? Access ele
FRBR relationships can be established. Entities: Works and Manifestations can be defined in the system.
