Abstract
MARCIS is a cooperative cataloguing system using the MARC tapes. Its primary goals are to create a machine‐readable file of each library's holding, to output catalogues in various forms as needed by the libraries and to maintain a union catalogue of all participating libraries. MARC tapes are converted to random files on discs. Records are retrieved for each library who then may change and modify any record within its file. From this updated file catalogues are printed for the library. Library records that are not on the MARC tapes can be added to the system.
