Abstract
Entry of data in the format of MARC records is a difficult procedure involving the use of codes which have to be memorised or located from manuals. We suggest that a program can be written in dBase III which prompts the cataloguer with a series of fairly simple questions about the book, and places data in appropriate fields in a dBase record. The resulting set of records can be converted very simply into UK MARC records and added to other records produced by more conventional means.
