The Locator and MARC Record Feedback System

• MARC records submitted by libraries for the Locator are evaluated for compliance to the Locator MARC Record Standards. Only records meeting the standards are loaded into the Locator.
• Iowa librarians often like to know how many records from a batch were accepted for inclusion in the Locator. They also like to know which records weren't accepted and the reason they were rejected. The Locator now has a MARC record feedback system that the identifies records and gives the reason why they weren't accepted.
• This session will introduce this new feature of the Locator and explain how to receive a report of the rejected records, how to interpret the report and steps a library can take to correct the record.

Who should attend: Library Directors and Staff, especially those responsible for cataloging, or adding records to the Locator
