Cost-effective cataloging resource
MARCit™ is a user-contributed MARC resource that enables public libraries to share over 30 million quality bibliographic records.
Customers can access MARCit through a web-based portal or via a Z39.50 connection within a library’s current integrated library system
(ILS). MARCit provides catalogers with a single point of access to the Library of Congress databases and all other user-contributed
cataloging resources in a federated search environment to significantly streamline workflow. MARCit provides a MARC editor and delivers
two kinds of MARC records - bibliographic and authority.
With a simple and straightforward pricing model, MARCit is available through an annual subscription fee with unlimited access at a
fraction of the leading cooperative’s price. Auto-Graphics has been providing quality MARC records for over 30 years and currently
serves thousands of libraries. Auto-Graphics offers its full service bibliographic utility through an open data usage policy and doesn’t
make any claim to the ownership of any bibliographic metadata and imposes no restrictions on subsequent use.
