MARC Record Service Survey


Help inform our decisions buy taking this survey on MARC Record Services.
Does your library use a MARC Record Service such as SFX's MARCit! or Serials Solutions' 360 MARC Updates? If so, I invite you to participate in a brief, anonymous survey that is designed to provide information about how libraries are using different MARC record services. The goals of the survey are to identify the benefits of using these services and areas in which the services could be improved, as well as to solicit general feedback about them.

Your participation in this study will provide valuable information about a major aspect of serials cataloging: outsourcing MARC records to vendors. Your responses will inform a formally published article, which I will share with the listserves once it is finished.
