LM_NET: Library Media Networking
Thanks for all of your responses, and I apologize for taking so long to post
a hit. Two LMS faxed/sent me samples of CD-Rom cataloging, for which I am
eternally grateful. There is also an excellent sample in the Follett CD-Rom
catalog, which I learned about from George Piattoni of Follett. A few people
asked that I send them a sample of a MARC record. If you don't have the
Follett CD-Rom catalog, please email me and I'll send you a copy. I've
included the email address for each in case you want to contact him/her
directly:

You must have received a Follett CD-ROM catalog last September - light tan
with paper swan artwork. Page #6 has a sample MARC record for the CD-ROM
Creative Writer. If you can not locate I could FAX over a sample record.

Dorian...I picked up a book that was for sale at AASL in Indianapolis (Nov.'94)
that has proved to be most useful:
McCroskey, Marilyn. _Cataloging Nonbook Materials with AACR2R and MARC: a Guide
for the School Library Media Specialist_ AASL, 1994. ISBN 0-8389-7736-7
It can be purchased from ALA, and I paid $18 for it. At the time, that seemed
like a lot, but it has really been worth it.
Good luck!

Have you looked at mitinet/MARC? This cataloguing software provides the
proper format without you having to know typetags or any other confusing
stuff like that.
e-mail Hank Epstein at mitinet@msn.fullfeed.com and ask him for more
details and a demo disk. You will be amazed at how easy it is. Also, they
are coming out with version 5 which will include a spell checker!!!!
Terrific stuff. I do all of my inhouse MARC records using mitinet and
import them into Columbia Library System. The records slip in without a
hitch.
You have to see this software to believe it!

We came up with a method that works for us, and I'll be glad to send you a
copy of the CD-ROM cataloguing page from our handbook as well as a MARC
record. After seeing what we've done, you may have questions, so feel free
to call. Our situation is a little different in that we are at a County
Office of Ed., and do not serve students directly, but rather, their
teachers who very often place their requests via phone. What I'm saying is
that we do not have alot of foot traffic, but do ship out alot of stuff.

Checked the new Follett CD-ROM catalog. It did have a sample of a MARC
record--worth getting as I would have made several mistakes.

Go to the Library of Congress web site and look up a few of them.
I'm home so I don't have the URL available, but I did that and
they do have some with all the info in the right spots.
Good luck
