The Future of Cataloging in a FOLIO Environment.

"The Future of Libraries Is Open" (FOLIO) is a community-driven effort to develop an open source library services platform. This article introduces the FOLIO community, provides background on the University of Chicago's involvement with the project, and discusses application development with an emphasis on key infrastructure features that will make FOLIO flexible enough to accommodate the uncertain future of cataloging. The article also provides insight into how the Metadata Management (MM) Special Interest Group (SIG), the FOLIO special interest group charged with defining essential bibliographic and holdings management functions, addresses current and emerging requirements in developing the infrastructure and data model to support MARC, BIBFRAME, and linked data.
