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
