EBSCO A-toZ with MARC Updates
EBSCO A-to-Z
® is designed to provide comprehensive access to a customer's list of e-content, regardless of vendor or where the content is hosted. Many libraries use a list of resources like EBSCO A-to-Z as a supplement to the library catalogue. Some also want to include this information in their online catalogue, but the ever-changing nature of e-content makes manually cataloguing the titles impractical. Even with vendors who provide MARC files and lists of titles with links, creating an automated process for loading these files is daunting. EBSCO offers a solution by adding a MARC record service to EBSCO A-to-Z.
A-to-Z with MARC Updates® customers can elect to receive a MARC file of their electronic holdings on a monthly basis. This service acts as a single, comprehensive source of MARC cataloguing that allows libraries to easily include virtually all their e-content in their catalogue.
Key benefits:
- save staff time through the automation of catalogue maintenance
- incorporate the flexibility of a customised solution into catalogue maintenance workflow - EBSCO works with you to determine the ideal formatting, delivery method and field specifications for your library.
