[Lswtalk] FYI: MARC records and Content Reserve

[Loretta Gharst]

Hi Library Southwesters,

Below is info from Overdrive concerning purchasing MARC records supplied by TLC instead of OCLC.
We pay $1.50 per OCLC MARC record currently.

FYI,

Loretta Gharst

Hi Loretta,

We're in pilot with TLC for MARC records currently, so there isn't a sign up option just yet, but they will be $1.00 per full record, .25 cents for a minimum record.

Thanks
Simon

[Side note - April issue of LAD (Library Administrator's Digest) discusses the Penguin/Overdrive situation. It was in my box this morning.]

A couple of questions:


1.       I am going to contact Bibliofile to get pricing for MARC records for our Overdrive selections but need to know "Library Name Registered with Overdrive" now that we are a consortia.  Please advise.


2.       When we select records from Content Reserve will we get MARC records and will they cost the same as for other selections?




Thanks as always,

Loretta
