Questions & Answers about Naslov je u katalogu.
What does naslov mean here?

In this sentence, it most naturally means title. So Naslov je u katalogu is something like The title is in the catalog.
What is je?
Je is the 3rd person singular present form of the verb biti (to be).
So:
- ja sam = I am
- ti si = you are
- on/ona/ono je = he/she/it is
Here, naslov is singular, so Serbian uses je = is.
Why is it u katalogu and not u katalog?
Because the preposition u changes meaning depending on whether it shows location or movement.
Here it means in, showing location, so the noun goes into the locative case:
- u katalogu = in the catalog
If it meant motion into something, Serbian would normally use the accusative instead:
- staviti u katalog = to put into the catalog
So:
- u + locative = in, inside, at
- u + accusative = into
