Easy Access
ITS•MARC offers catalogers easy access to 63 million MARC records, using the fastest search technology in the library industry.ITS•MARC offers four access methods: www.itsmarc.com, Z39.50, DVD, and integration with TLC’s LS2 Cataloging. At one low, fixed price per year, you can search and find high-quality bibliographic and authority records.
Enhanced Content
Book jacket images, tables of contents (ToCs), and reviews are included with the Web service. Jacket art can be viewed with properly equipped Z39.50 cataloging software, such as TLC’s BiblioFile. The images enable you to quickly verify a record match, while ToCs and reviews help with classification and subject assignment.
If You Need Cataloging Software
BiblioFile, our standalone MARC editor, is available with an ITS•MARC subscription. BiblioFile features multi-lingual cataloging, result set filtering, Z39.50 client, local authority verification, label printing, and other advanced features.
