[Libs-Or] No OCLC subscription?

[Edith Fuller]

MessageSchool libraries have been dealing with this problem for some time.  Some info can be found in LM-Net's archives http://www.eduref.org/lm_net/archive/
Most solutions involve downloading records from LC and/or using EZCat Pro or other Z39.50 programs, a quite less expensive way of searching and downloading from other compatible online catalogs.

MARCEdit, locally developed at OSU Corvallis, is a really nifty program that I used to edit imported records and for database cleanup.

  Hi Perry,
  I will share if you will. ; >)  Right now we are looking at ways to find and edit MARC records for free and import them into our SIRSI Symphony ILS. We are currently looking at MarcEdit. Do you have any other suggestions?
