MARC Defined

• MARC is the acronym for Machine Readable
  Cataloging. The term refers to the record
  syntax, the code, labels and standards required
  for creating records that can be used in
  computerized library management systems.
• Machine-readable means a computer can read and
  interpret the records.

Bibliographic Control

• Libraries collect materials to satisfy the
  educational, informational and recreational
  information needs of their constituents.
• MARC helps in the organization of materials so
  that people and library materials can get
  together. MARC organizes bibliographic information

6
Cataloging Rules

• Cataloging rules tell the cataloger the
  standardized rules for describing items and
  establishing headings. Marc rules tell
  catalogers where to put their work so that
  computer catalogs can store, retrieve and display
  the data.
• Marc is a standard for representing data in the
  computer

MARC21

• Marc21 is the current standard. The 21 means the
  21st century.
• Not all Marc formats are the same. Also names
  have changed over the years.
• LCMarc (1960s) USMarc (1980s) Marc21 (2000)
• CANMarc (1970s) Marc21 (2000)
• UKMarc will soon be the same as Marc21 (2000)
• CAN is for Canadian and UK is for the United
  Kingdom

9
Other MARC Versions

• UNIMarc, IberMarc, NORMarc and other national
  versions a still not quite the same as Marc21.
  Records created using these formats will need to
  be translated for use in systems that use Marc21.
• MicroLif was used for early PC based library
  automation systems. It was smaller version of
  Marc that was used by vendors such as Follet and
  Winnebago. The current version MicroLif91 is
  compatible with Marc21.

10
Types of Records

• Bibliographic records provide the descriptions,
  headings, and other bibliographic information.
• Authority records establish headings and cross
  references and are used for authority control.
• Holding records Information about individual
  items (bar codes, volume numbers, copy
  information) and in systems which library has the
  item

11
Types of Records 2

• Each of these types of records is required to
  keep track of each item.
• Not every library provides authority records.
• You may never see a holdings record because many
  systems add the information to the bibliographic
  records in their own internally defined fields.
  Because of lack of standards libraries are
  beginning to require MARC compatible holdings
  records.

12
Reasons for using Marc

• Sharing of records. You dont have to make
  original records.
• Sharing of resources. Groups of libraries can
  make union catalogs. Interlibrary loans are
  easier.
• Marc is a standard. Library automation systems
  are designed around Marc standards
• Marc is easy to learn

13
Definitions

• Fields Start of field is indicated with a three
  digit number from 100 to 999. A Marc field is the
  entire string of information. Some fields are
  repeatable some are not.
• Subfield is a part of a field.
• Marc indicator is a one digit code, which can be
  a blank or number that gives the system special
  instructions. It comes after the field code.
• A subfield delimiter is a special character that
  tells the system what follows is a subfield. The
  tags (letters a-z and numerals 0-9) mean
  different things for different fields.

14
Delimiter

• characters used for delimiter indicators
  in OPAC displays.
