for a demo of records from Marc of Quality.
MARC of QUALITY is the company used to move Marion database Bibliographic records to VIC using OCLC. The committee members were able to see records that had some concerns and how are these records to be dealt with. Total number of fixes : 165019 Total number of fixed records: 149321 There were records pulled that could not be sent to OCLC because the errors are serious enough that the records should be fixed for the sake of the library's own database. Total number of records pulled but not printed : 3784 Periodical records 3763 handled by the Union List of Serials OCLC charges for every record sent, so you do not want to send records that are duplicates.
