I'm not sure about the way for Follett. I have Alexandria V5.
http://catalog.loc.gov/
To search click on Basic Search and select how you wish to search. When I
find a record I want at LOC I place a check mark in the box before the
record and scroll down to bottom of the page. From the drop down menu
called Select Text of Marc format I select Marc (non-Unicode/Marc-8) and
press the Save or Print button. This brings up a window with a long line of
text. Select all and save as a text file. I then import the text file into
my automation system or into Marc Magician where I can add or change
information such as adding a barcode, price etc. I save the changes and can
export the record as a microlif or text file. It really is pretty simple.
I haven't used Fillet for an automation system in years. Feel free to ask
questions.

I've heard that there's a quick and easy way to download MARC records from
the Library of Congress and input them to Follett Circulation Plus. I
desperately need to be able to do this, but don't know how. Can one of you
send me the "step-by-steps" of how to do it?
Thanks so much!
