MARC records

MARC records are included with our language sets. Just tell us how you want them.

  • OCLC number only (you have your own people to do the local editing).
  • Simple matching OCLC record (your people don't have time for searching, but will do the local editing).
  • Upgraded matching OCLC record. Our people will do the following:
