Metadata Management (Cataloging)

In FOLIO, metadata management includes essential cataloging functions. These functions include:

  • Creating Instance, Holdings, and Item records
  • Managing your collections (physical and/or virtual)
  • Importing and exporting bibliographic data
  • Editing MARC records

Cataloging Settings

Metadata management is governed by a set of rules and policies. These rules and policies are defined by the library and implemented in the Data export, Data import, and Inventory areas of the FOLIO Settings app.
