Free Brief Marc Records
Brief MARC records allow patrons to know what titles will be in circulation in the coming months. The records are available on a per title basis OR as a batch. To download a single MARC record, click on the "FREE BRIEF MARC" button in the information section of any title in our catalog. To download more than one record at a time, add titles to your cart and then go into your cart and click on the red button that says "Download brief MARC records for cart items." This button also appears after checkout. Related questions can be directed to the BOT technical staff.
Custom Cataloging
OCLC® and Books on Tape are now working together to provide cost-effective, custom cataloging services to libraries. Our partnership affords libraries the opportunity to order standard or customized OCLC MARC records at minimal cost to libraries. OCLC and Books on Tape guarantee a full record for each title on the BOT active list. OCLC edits each record to match your local cataloging practice, just as if your own technical services staff cataloged them. You will receive your MARC records from OCLC edited to your specifications when Books on Tape fills your order. Our partnership with OCLC means cost-sharing as we work together to reduce your costs for cataloging and physical processing. Using this service will save time, money and—with Books on Tape's simultaneous release—will put your materials into circulation sooner.  Why OCLC?       How do I get started? You will only receive high-quality OCLC-MARC records created or upgraded by expert OCLC staff. No minimal-level records—ever! Only full OCLC-MARC records are delivered. Custom editing options can replicate library's local practice. Holdings are set in WorldCat at no additional charge. Complete the OCLC Cataloging Partners MARC Request form. Once OCLC receives your request they will ensure that your library is set up to receive cataloging. From then on, each order placed with Books on Tape will include catalog records—edited to library specifications—at the time of fulfillment.
