##  Made with Librarians in Mind 

- #####  Instant Catalog Updates 
    
    The update process in Locate is immediate. Changes in your FOLIO inventory records display immediately to library users with no delay. This makes accurately managing your collection more accessible and timelier.
- #####  Robust Searching and Filtering 
    
    Locate is equipped with robust search functionality. Keyword search supports everything from title and author through ISSN and ISBNs, all of which make Locate ideal for known item searching. Facets allow users to refine results by status/availability, format, location, etc.
- #####  Browsing 
    
    Locate’s virtual shelf, call number, and (soon) subject browse functionalities allow users to find exactly what they need from your collection easily and intuitively. In addition, users can also browse your collection of course reserves.
 
- #####  Modern UX 
    
    Backed by extensive user experience research, Locate’s design provides a simplified and modern user interface that your users will love.
- #####  Seamless Integrations 
    
    Designed as an OPAC solution for libraries using or looking to use FOLIO, Locate brings all library services under one roof, streamlining integration, service, and support for library operations.
- #####  Continuous Enhancements 
    
    Locate is always evolving to support patrons and librarians. Visit the [Locate product roadmap](/roadmaps/locate) for an overview of the features and functionality completed and coming soon.

####  We’ve found that Locate has really improved the ability for ‘known item’ searching. Library faculty and the campus community are pleased for our searching suite to have this additional functionality.
