MARC 21 LITE


MARC 21 LITE is a subset of the MARC21 standard. It is intended to be used when the full MARC21 scheme would be too complex. It could be used by smaller libraries, for bibliographies, or material of an ephemeral nature.
The MARC 21 LITE Bibliographic Format is a subset of the markup defined in the full MARC 21 Bibliographic Format. It includes all essential data elements that are needed to create bibliographic descriptions of information items. It is a true subset of the data elements in the complete MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data and does not collapse or change any data tagging found in the full format. Records using only the elements in this document are valid MARC records and may be integrated with fuller records without alteration. If elements from the full format are needed for special reasons in an implementation, they can always be added to LITE records by the implementer or user.
An overview is MARC 21 Lite?? by Margaret Beecher Maurer in TechKNOW Vol. 9, Issue 2 (May 2003).
