# Service catalog setup

Service Catalog enables users with the Catalog Administrators role \(catalog\_admin\) to set up the service catalog.

Service Catalog enables you to set up one or more service catalogs and provides self-service opportunities. You can organize your catalog offerings by using the ability to publish multiple catalogs targeted to specific audiences.

-   **[Set up a service catalog](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/service-catalog/t_SetUpAServiceCatalog.md)**  
To set up a Service Catalog, plan the way your organization defines and maintains Service Catalog items, and how it fulfills them.
-   **[Set up Platform URLs for catalog modules](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/service-catalog/t_SetURLsForCatalogModules.md)**  
You can direct users to a specific catalog via a URL to a module in that particular catalog.
-   **[Multiple service catalogs setup](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/service-catalog/c_MultipleServiceCatalogs.md)**  
Multiple service catalogs enable your organization to offer different sets of services to different teams within the organization, such as IT services, human resources, and facilities management.
-   **[Tables provided with multiple service catalogs](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/service-catalog/r_UpgradToMultpleServiceCats.md)**  
Administrators and catalog administrators must consider these points before they upgrade to multiple service catalogs.
