MARC 21

MARC is the bibliographic data format libraries have shared catalogue records in since the 1960s, maintained by the Library of Congress. Its successor effort, BIBFRAME, re-expresses the same domain as linked data. MARC remains the working format of library systems worldwide.

Providers that carry MARC 0

No provider in the catalog carries this standard as a tag yet. That is a statement about the catalog's tagging, not about adoption: a provider that implements MARC and says so in its APIs.json profile appears here on the next build. Add or correct a listing.

Read from the API Evangelist standards directory. Provider links come from the catalog's own identity tags and are rebuilt nightly. If this page is wrong about a standard or a provider, say so.
