A single bibliographic backbone for the ministry's library network

This project was built for T.C. Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı

BiblioOne unifies cataloging, OPAC, circulation and digital reading across the libraries of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism on one platform. The “One Record. One Truth.” principle eliminates duplicate records and catalog inconsistency.

01 · THE NEED

The situation the client faced

Libraries under the ministry ran catalog systems built in different years that did not talk to each other. The same work appeared under multiple records, readers could not reach the material they searched for, and central statistics took weeks. The experience gap between digital and physical collections kept widening.

02 · THE SOLUTION

How we built it

BiblioOne was positioned on a single MARC/WEMI-based bibliographic backbone. Libraries migrated with shared authority files and bulk import/export tooling. OPAC, circulation, acquisitions and the digital reader were configured to run on the same API, with enterprise sign-in wired to LDAP/AD and an LDAP-based role model.

Scope

Catalog & authority management · OPAC · circulation · acquisitions · digital reader · enterprise identity integration · reporting

03 · MODULES

Modules delivered

Catalog & MARC editor

MARC/WEMI-based catalog, authority files, bulk import/export and AI-assisted cataloging.

OPAC (public access catalog)

Faceted search for readers, reservations, shelf location and personal reading history.

Circulation

Loan, return, renewal, fine and branch-transfer flows governed by a policy engine.

Acquisitions & vendors

Request, order, budget and vendor processes run linked to the catalog.

Digital reader & DRM

EPUB/PDF reader, audio playback and DRM protection for lent digital content.

Enterprise security

JWT, MFA, RBAC and LDAP/AD synchronization; every action is written to the audit trail.

Central reporting

Collection, reader, loan and digital usage statistics come from one central place.

Multi-branch architecture

Center + branch structure supported by branch-level authorization and transfer flows.
