This exciting book helps all types of libraries to understand and implement the new USMARC Format for Holdings and Locations--the newest member of the MARC format family--with the goal of making resource sharing of serials easier. Innovative librarians on the cutting edge of technical services and automation offer information on the development of the format, the significant impact it has already had on libraries, as well as discussions about how difficult issues of interpretation have been handled. The contributors to this invaluable volume draw upon their firsthand experience with the use of the format, the NISO standards, and the SISAC code to provide other professionals with an introduction to the format and information on how other institutions approached the application of the format to their particular situations.
Synopsis: Serials librarians and designers of automated systems will benefit from the detailed accounts of incorporating the format into new or existing automated systems. The inclusion of a description of the development process and standards issues provides a clear context for the format. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
