MARC Development

Abstract

The paper began with the announcement that the MARC Project, as set up in 1967, was now formally finished. The final report had been written and submitted to OSTI. The original terms of reference of the Project, which were to ‘test the feasibility of creating and using machine‐readable catalogue records’, had long been out of date. It was time to begin to regard MARC as just another service in a stable of bibliographic services.
