SmartMARC Library Cataloguing Tool
SmartMARC is a cross platform (Windows and Macintosh), industry-standard cataloguing tool used to locate full MARC records, update them, and save them directly into any library automation system that supports standard MARC/MicroLIF records.
Customers are pleased at how effectively SmartMARC works with Athena, Dynix, Follett, Spectrum, and other library automation systems. If you a librarian, SmartMARC can save you hundreds of cataloging and enhancement hours.
 • Locate and edit your existing records directly from SmartMARC. Quickly add local information such as barcodes, call numbers, cost, funding, library locations, and policies. Also add multiple copies in seconds. Note: Fields supported by your library automation system are editable.
• Link to any z39.50 database and searches multiple databases with each query. Pre-configured with hundreds of free z39.50 databases, including the Library of Congress, OhioLink, etc. Quickly add your own favorite data sources. Special support for subscription-based z39.50 databases such as Brodart and SchoolCAT from Auto-graphics Inc.

• Scan ISBN from book cover for faster searching.
• Works with any library automation system, including Alexandria, Athena, Dynix, Follet, and Spectrum.
