How will Ingram Library Services meet my cataloging needs?
--Curious. Cheyenne, WY


Dear Curious,
Ingram Library Services combines an authoritative bibliographic database with customized services to meet the individual specifications of your library.

We provide access to full-level MARC records through BookMARC®, our proprietary cataloging database. BookMARC includes the complete Library of Congress MARC database (with more than eight million bibliographic records), as well as tens of thousands of entries created by Ingram's MLS-degreed catalogers. It also contains LC Name Authority and Subject Authority records; our MARC records reflect the latest LC-recognized contributor, uniform title, series, and subject and geographic headings. We are a NACO participant, the first vendor to have been accorded that honor.

In addition to creating original MARC records, Ingram catalogers also upgrade CIP and other lower-level records. Ingram cataloging is in accordance with all national rules and standards, including the latest editions and versions of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, MARC21 Format, OCLC Bibliographic Formats and Standards, Library of Congress Classification Schedules, Dewey Decimal Classification, Sears List of Subject Headings, and Library of Congress Subject Headings. Our cataloging is consistent with LC rule interpretations and cataloging practices as established and reported in LC's Cataloging Services Bulletin.




Sincerely,
