Notice Title

Subscription to licences for MARC catalogue records

Notice Description

MARC (Machine Readable Catalogue) is the international data format for catalogue records which libraries use to ensure consistent electronic records are provided in the library catalogue; this enables efficient electronic ordering of library items, and effective searching for items in the library catalogue, which are core elements of the library service. Licensing is required to enable the use of these catalogue records and ensures the records are supplied to the relevant protocols and standards, enabling them to be searched correctly using the library catalogue.
