In 2025 - scheduled for the Sunflower release - FOLIO will launch a new linked data editor that will provide libraries with the ability to catalog and manage collections as linked data. The talk will focus on UX research conducted early on with catalogers and how learnings informed design decisions for the application. Moving cataloging operations away from MARC will require significant change management planning. Anticipating this, a key objective for the project was designing an environment that catalogers could intuitively “recognize” in order to facilitate adoption. The presentation will outline some of these challenges and conclude with a demo of the application.
