OverDrive and TLC partner to provide MARC records

This past weekend at the American Library Association Midwinter Conference, OverDrive and The Library Corporation  announced an agreement that enables OverDrive customers to order high-quality TLC MARC records and cataloging services simultaneously with their digital OverDrive materials.

Using TLC’s streamlined BiblioFile OnDemand technology, MARC records for eBooks, audiobooks, music and video titles will be prepared and delivered directly to each OverDrive library ready to import in just a few days. Final testing is under way and is expected to go live soon.

“The first step to integrating electronic materials in today’s library system is to make sure MARC records exist for those items in the library catalog,” said Heather Brockerman, TLC Product Owner. “Our service accomplishes this quickly and easily. Our test libraries have been especially pleased with the quality and fast turnaround of just a matter of days.”
