TLC & Tech Logic Share “Libraries Are Essential” Messaging at ALA

The Library Corporation (TLC) and Tech Logic invite attendees of the American Library Association (ALA) summer user conference who believe Libraries are Essential to visit Booth #4516/4616. The companies will be exhibiting June 23-26, 2023, at the conference in Chicago, Illinois, and are encouraging attendees to see how libraries are supported by their essential services. T-shirts with the “Libraries are Essential” phrase will also be given away at the booth while supplies last.

TLC has been providing library solutions to public libraries and school districts for nearly 50 years. A sampling of these solutions will be showcased at the conference for catalogers, system administrators, and library staff who would benefit from unparalleled support.

We ask attendees to keep an eye out for the biggest AMH show machine that Tech Logic has ever brought to a conference. Spanning booths 4516 and 4616, this fully functioning AMH system will be decorated like a caterpillar and will sort books up and over the aisle. Attendees are encouraged to induct items and watch them be sorted to the next booth. 

Tech Logic will also have new selfCIRC LOCKERS at the booth, as well as self-checkout systems, security gates, and shelf management.

Libraries Contribute Bibliographic Records for TLC’s ITS•MARC Databases

The Library Corporation (TLC) has expanded ITSMARC resources with new contributed datasets. TLC established new partnerships to provide libraries with access to recently published titles. The high-quality copy cataloging service from TLC now provides over 81 million records from 23 databases. Of which, school and public library partners contribute 1.2 million records, with more on the way.

By partnering with library contributors, TLC continues to grow its cataloging data services. Catalogers will have access to resources from a variety of media types. Bibliographic records for recently published materials will be easy to find. New school contributors have helped increase access to title records for specialized materials.

Continual updates to ITSMARC provide ongoing value to TLC customers. “Cataloging is a craft,” said Sam Brenizer, Director of Product Management. “It’s wonderful to see so many of our customers share their talents, thereby creating an ever-growing community resource. It’s a partnership between TLC and the library community resulting in benefits to the entire ITSMARC family.”

Any subscriber can access ITSMARC databases through their cataloging application or at itsmarc.com. The contributed records are updated weekly in the Contributed School & Public (ConSP) database.

As of March 2022, TLC has approved the following library systems as contributors to ConSP:

  • Bee Cave Public Library (TX)
  • Champaign County Library (OH)
  • Chesterfield Public Schools (VA)
  • La Porte County Public Library (IN)
