BFProd is a project to put BIBFRAME into production at the Library of Congress, using Marva Quartz as
the tool that allows catalogers to create, edit, and update linked data.
Marva Quartz will become part of the daily cataloging process for
participants in this project. Additionally, BIBFRAME metadata descriptions created in Marva Quartz will
be converted into MARC records in Voyager and then distributed to the Library’s partners.
These BFProd training materials are being used for internal Library of Congress training.
Please be aware that many of the URLs listed in the training materials point to internal Library of Congress sites, and are not accessible outside of the Library of Congress.
