CATALOGING ISSUES - MARC RecordsNot all participating libraries export the MARC records to their online catalogs. This is optional. They are purchased and the purchase goes right away with Overdrive but has to come from OCLC so sometimes a delay. We are only a little bit behind in current MARC records according to our Overdrive project manager. Those using MARC records agree and stress that it increases their circ and they like having them.

· Most are not using MARC records – question of which systems the records are compatible came up – person (Linden) to e-mail Cheryl (coconnor@infolink.org) with specifics and Cheryl to find out.
· It can be time-consuming to add and some libraries do not have the staff/ability to add them. Some add little-by-little so sometimes some records are there but not all.
· How/where/when to get the records was asked? We need an info sheet on this. An alert comes and Cheryl shares it when they are available in the Group wiki.
· Request was made for the sharing of some quotes from those using the MARC records and the efficacy and benefits of using them, i.e., Has increased circ! Etc
· Sign up here to be listed as resources from Technical Services in libraries who are using the MARC records for those libraries who want to use but who might need help:
