Catalogue V2 combines shared bibliographic records, AI-assisted book capture, librarian quality control, local holdings and Koha-ready staging in one workflow.
Catalogue V2 reduces repeated cataloguing work by allowing libraries to share a common bibliographic description while retaining control over their own holdings and copies.
Before creating a new record, the cataloguer searches the shared catalogue. If the resource already exists, the library can reuse the bibliographic record and simply add its local holding and copies.
When a new description is required, Catalogue V2 supports guided entry, expert cataloguing and AI-assisted capture using photographs of the physical book.
The person holding the physical book takes three photographs and enters the physical details that cannot easily be read from those pages.
AI proposes the bibliographic description, classification and subjects. The librarian then reviews the record together with the high-resolution source photographs before approval.
Built to support both high-volume data capture and professional librarian quality control.
Find existing titles using title, author, ISBN, publisher or classification before creating another record.
Use three book photographs to prepare bibliographic data, classification and subject suggestions for librarian review.
Review, edit and approve bibliographic records while inspecting the original source photographs.
Detect likely duplicate bibliographic records, compare them and either keep them separate or safely merge them.
Manage branches, shelving locations, collections, item types, barcodes and individual physical copies.
Prepare approved bibliographic records and their local holdings for controlled export and import into Koha.
