Cataloging savings as easy as 1-2-3


Why should your library spend a fortune on cataloging when The Library Corporation can provide high-quality service at a fraction of the price? TLC's powerful suite of cataloging tools connects your library to millions of MARC records from most of the same sources you already trust, including the Library of Congress, the British Library, and the National Library of Canada.

TLC's top-of-the-line yet affordable cataloging solution includes three powerful resources:

  1. ITS•MARC® -- One of the world's largest, most current copy cataloging resources available. With easy access methods – Z39.50 and World Wide Web – MARC records are delivered with the quickest search technology in the library industry. ITS•MARC is updated daily with records from the Library of Congress, and a score of other databases are updated weekly, monthly, or quarterly. Best of all, ITS•MARC is offered at one low, fixed annual price, so your library can easily budget for access to a massive pool of MARC records.
  2. BiblioFile® -- TLC's cataloging software for the desktop harnesses the vast amount of metadata available from ITS•MARC and other databases. BiblioFile has a respected track record of serving libraries since 1985. Today, BiblioFile continues to offer powerful data manipulation features, local database and authority processing control, MARC record validation, label printing, book jacket views, Unicode features, and much more.
  3. Cataloger's Reference Shelf – A context-sensitive digital library of MARC manuals and lookup tables is included free with all TLC cataloging software products, including BiblioFile. CRS is based on two dozen electronic MARC manuals and reference works published by the Library of Congress, and has proven to be an invaluable tool for libraries by providing quick, easily accessed information about cataloging standards. The Web version of CRS is available to all users free of charge.

Discover for yourself how saving money on your library's cataloging needs is as easy as 1-2-3. For a free 30-day trial of ITS•MARC and BiblioFile with CRS., call TLC at 1.800.325.7759. You have nothing to lose and a great deal of money to save.

Library Quotes

"I want to compliment one of your employees and tell you how much I appreciate the customer-service philosophy of your company. Joshua Baddorf called the Mustang Library last week. He had finished an install at the nearby Chickasha Public Library and asked if we had any outstanding issues/problems that he could help us with. Since we are a small library with limited staffing, his offer of assistance was much welcomed. He took care of a lot of little problems we had dangling that we had not had the time or staffing to deal with. Joshua performed the installation of our servers last year when we migrated to TLC. I was impressed with his knowledge and abilities then and I was impressed, on this visit, with his kindness in offering to help us out during the few hours he had to spare. He is a very nice person to work with. What a great company TLC is in allowing an employee to perform this type of service. My thanks to Joshua and to TLC. Again, I deeply appreciate the outstanding customer service."
