MARC Record Services

& Catalog Card Kits

Broadfoot's is pleased to provide catalog card kits or MARC Record Services for your convenience. We hope this description will provide you with the information you need about our catalog cards, MicroLIF records, and barcode labels. We furnish records and/or card kits for titles listed in this catalog unless otherwise noted. Catalog card kits or data disk kits will be shipped to you with your order unless you specify otherwise.

The diskette records contain all information on our catalog cards—Dewey number, main entry, full title, publisher and copyright, physical description, summary, appropriate Sears subject headings, LC catalog number, ISBN(s), edition statement, series, index statement, bibliography statement, and added entries such as joint authors, illustrators, and titles traced differently—and, since Medialog catalog cards and MicroLIF records are taken from the same database, information on the diskette and our catalog cards "matches"—no discrepencies between the Dewey number in the card catalog and the Dewey number in the circulation system. Other MARC defined fields, such as shortened title, language note, place of publication, geographic area code, and fixed length data elements are also included in diskette records.

We are pleased with the professional quality of the Medialog MicroLIF records and barcodes, which have been readily accepted by user librarians. MicroLIF records are appropriate for libraries using the computer for circulation purposes only, or for the library that has eliminated the card file and is using computers for reference as well as circulation—the "on-line catalog." The user librarian simply pulls from the diskette into their system the information, or fields, they wish to use. Prices on the disk for some of the items may or may not be current depending on when they were entered into Medialog's system.

Catalog Card Kits: Our professionally prepared catalog card kits are $.75 each or free on orders over $500. The information on the cards may be used by libraries preparing in-house barcoding.

Optional "Accelerated Reader" labels included. Just complete the "Service for Library Software Systems" form for each order.
