GEN->MARC Records for Paperbacks?

[Murry or Saranne Gans <mmsgans@ONRAMP.NET>]

Dear LM Netters,

I have done minimal cataloging on paperbacks in the past, but now my
lib. has a new circ/cat system with MARC records, etc.  My question is
how much cataloging should I maintain for pbks?  I buy about 225 a year,
and they circulate a lot.  Our pbk collection is about 2,000. (Hardbacks
22,000)

I know not all pbks have MARC records, but should I get Marc cataloging
for those that do?  This seems a small decision, but I could use some
experienced opinions. THANK YOU.  8-]
