Announcement Letter BIBFRAME / MARC / FOLIO

Dear colleagues,

I would like to share a project developed by our team at the Library and
House of Manuscripts of Al-Abbas Holy Shrine: Moon Wolf, an open-source
cataloging and discovery platform built for BIBFRAME and MARC with native
Arabic and right-to-left support.

In summary: You can catalog using BIBFRAME, convert bi-directionally with
MARC 21, push records directly into FOLIO, and discover materials through a
public semantic catalog. We have tested the system on our manuscript
collections in Karbala.

You can now try the platform directly at mooon.site (registration is
required). If you encounter any problem with registration, please email me
directly at eshak100falah_at_gmail.com
<eshak100falah_at_gmail.com?subject=Registration%20Support%20-%20Moon%20Wolf>,
especially if you catalog Arabic or Islamic heritage materials.

Please feel free to reply with any questions or thoughts.

Warm regards,
