How to get MARC Records

Summary

Library members of desLibris have access to a MARC Delivery Services site which is customized for every account. and allows administrators to select or customize sets of records for loading to OPACs or library catalogues. This helps libraries filter or direct users to only those records which conform to the library’s subject field or audience.

This site provides an "Initial Download" for new subscribers. Subsequent Downloads are then available which are dynamically built to exclude records already sent and include new records as they are added to entitlements on an incremental basis.

The site also allows for customized record sets to be created by saving and pasting the results of any search.

There are Help instructions on the page.

For ordering single records or other more customized sets, use the CELArc site or get single MARC records from the book More Details page.
