This new toolkit, an outgrowth of the toolkit for NOTIS, offers a fresh opportunity to re-think cataloging procedures. With a different connection method and no direct interaction, it provides the necessary functionality in multiple places. Rule-based validation, configurable settings, and a heading verification tool streamline the cataloging process. Compatible with ILCSO record flow and equipped with reports production, this toolkit enhances efficiency and accuracy.
