MARC tags & bibliographic information
MARC Functionality
Enables easy info identification (for humans & computers)
Enables searching specific fields (i.e., search 100 field (author) for “Shakespeare”)
Enables clear, standard display
Enables record sharing
Pros & Cons of MARC
Why do we use MARC? Mature standard (+40 years)
Widely adopted Millions of shareable records Standard in ILS (Integrated Library Systems)
Rich metadata Specific to bibliographic data
Pros & Cons of MARC
What are complaints against MARC? Library-specific Size limitations Can’t convey complex relationships Can’t embed related items Not interoperable Designed for books
Potential repercussions of new format: Existing MARC records…
Migrate? Dual formats?
New ILS needed
Potential advantages: Better OPACs, other tools
MARC vs. new format…
Future of MARC...
RDA + MARC New cat. rules: RDA replaces AACR2 Same MARC format + new rules
BIBFRAME Developed by Library of Congress Currently being tested Built on FRBR model and RDA rules Transition unclear
