Learning Objectives

Following this session, participants (librarians) will be able to identify what their needs are and articulate those to the publishers/vendors who provide MARC records.

Following this session, participants (librarians) will be able to make confident decisions about where they get their MARC records from.

Abstract

Ebooks proliferate, and the types of providers are almost too numerous to count. To complicate matters further, there are different types of purchases – firm orders, PDA/DDA, approval plans, subject collections from publishers and from aggregators/platform hosts, etc. We’ll look specifically at the challenge of getting MARC records for ebook purchases.

Presenters

Mr. Tim Carstens, Western Carolina University
