Cataloging–MARC–U.K.
U.K. Libraries to Use MARC21
From the release, “For the first time since 1969 the UK library community is set to change the format for all its cataloguing and bibliographic data exchange. The clear message that UK libraries wish to adopt MARC21 as the standard for encoding new library catalogue records was given in response to a consultation exercise carried out by the British Library. MARC21 is the standard format for the exchange of catalogue information used in the US, Canada and several other parts of the world, and its adoption in the UK will make possible the downloading of bibliographic records from a wider range of Internet sources than ever before.”
