Speed up your cataloging

Easily compare bib records and add information to your catalog through drag and drop, and finish your work faster than ever by using BLUEcloud Cataloging’s keyboard shortcuts and intuitive interface.

Reduce your workload

Search for bib records across your system and other databases all at once so you immediately find the record you need. When you create your own records, get a head start with as many bib record templates as you want. With merge and replace rules you set, BLUEcloud Cataloging makes your most frequent changes automatically.

Keep your records safe

Decide exactly who can see and modify your bib records, even in a complex consortium. BLUEcloud Cataloging features flexible permissions, so you can choose the specific institutions that can access your records, regardless of the consortium’s hierarchy.

Catalog anywhere

Can’t make it to the library tomorrow? Grab your materials and catalog from home instead. BLUEcloud Cataloging is browser-based so you can work from any computer with an internet connection. There’s no software to install or versions to manage—just log in and start working.

Quote Marks
I had enthusiastically implemented the product into my regular workflow on a daily basis. Since 95% of my work is copy cataloging, I was in instant gratification heaven. I could bypass many (I thought) cumbersome steps to load records into our catalog and get them into the hands of our patrons.
