Subject: [ACQNET-L] Making MARC records
Greetings all,
We need a way of creating brief, on order MARC records so that our patrons will know a title is on order and they can place reserves before we actually have the book in hand. These records will be overlaid with OCLC records by our cataloging staff once we have the material so they can be pretty bare bones, i.e. On order call number, ISBN, author, title, maybe publisher.
Our ILS allows us to create such records in the acquisitions module. But those records are problematic for a number of reasons. Our order entry staff have been using MARC Magician. But our service contract has expired and the company has raised their prices far beyond what we consider reasonable.
Does anyone know of/have a relatively inexpensive tool for creating brief MARC records?

"Good clean thoughts no doubt have their place in the scheme of things, but there is nothing so satisfactory as a good evil one unless it is the deed itself. And this is especially true when the evil thought can be hurled with crackling vigor into the innocuous ranks of a lot of neatly dressed clean ones."
