MARC Report is quality control software for MARC data. It is the librarian's best defense against common coding and cataloging errors in their MARC database.
Brought to you by The MARC of Quality, creators of MARC Review (©1993) and MARC Global (©1997), this Windows program will give you the tools to accomplish a very tough job--validate MARC records according to the latest MARC21 standards--with amazing ease.
But that's not all. Unique to MARC Report are hundreds of cataloging cross-checks created by Deborah Fritz, the author of Cataloging with AACR2R and USMARC (ALA Editions, ©1999), and MARC21 for Everyone (ALA Editions, ©2002). These cross-checks, or CatChecks as we call them, don't simply validate your MARC records, but go a step farther, and check the internal cataloging logic of each record.
MARC Report also includes a MARC editor, and an unmatched collection of integrated MARC utilities, now including both MARC Review (standard) and MARC Global (optional). You can download a 30-day free trial of MARC Report right now by going to the Download page (where there are no annoying forms to fill out), or learn more about the program on the Features page. Or read a short justification for MARC Report contributed by the cataloger at an average-sized public library.
System Requirements
MARC Report and MARC Global are supported on either Windows
2000 Professional or XP Professional.
MARC Report is not supported as an application on a Windows
Server (however, use of MARC Report with network shares works fine).
On XP and W2K, ‘Restricted’ or ‘Limited’ users must have sufficient
permissions in the program’s installation directory.
Program installation requires only 10-15 MB of disk space. The
amount of disk space needed to run the program or the utilities is determined
by the size of the MARC files that you are using. In general, you should have free disk space
equivalent to twice the disk space of the file that is being used.
