Southampton Cataloguers' Reactions to Local MARC

Abstract

Southampton University Library is using locally generated bibliographic records in MARC format (local MARC) to catalogue the stock of the new Wessex Medical Library. Over the last year we have gained some experience as to how local MARC can be applied, and, equally important, how cataloguers adapt to the changed methods of preparing cataloguing data. We have found that they can apply MARC successfully, and it was felt that their reactions might be of interest to other librarians.
