Automated Services

Welcome to the Backstage Library Works Automated Services Wiki. Automated services are an integral part of the library world. It allows libraries to enact positive changes to a large amount of data in a short amount of time. This wiki covers the following automated services: Authority Control, RDA Enhancement, MARCADIA, and Record Deduplication.
