MARC format

To view the MARC record, select the MARC Record button on the Headings screen. MARC (MAchine Readable Cataloging) is a format used by librarians to enter information about materials which will be read by an online catalog. Information, such as title or author, is stored in a field or numbered tag which is then read and translated by the catalog.

To view more items associated with the title you have selected, click the Previous or Next buttons.

Please refer to the Save Options section to learn about how to save information about the current items displayed on your screen.

To save, print, or email information about specific items from the Titles screen:

1. If you do not wish to select all titles on the Titles screen, check the box in the left-most column next to the item(s) you want to save, print, or email.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the page to the Save Options box.
3. Choose which items you would like to save, print, or email.

• Choose "Selected all pages" if you wish to save the items you had selected on the current and previous Titles screens.
4. If you choose to save or print the items, select the format in which you would like to save your records from the drop-down list (the MARC format is one of these).
5. If you choose to email saved items, enter your email address and choose the Email button.
