Chapter 23 Using the MARC Editor

This chapter provides information and instructions for manually adding and

editing bibliographic and authority records in the MARC Editor.

If you are comfortable with the MARC standard, the MARC Editor lets you take

full advantage of its detail and flexibility. Although the details of the MARC

standard are beyond the scope of this guide, if you would like additional

information, we recommend the publications listed on page 234.

You can apply many of the procedures for working with bibliographic records to

authority records. Information specific to authority records begins on page 278.

Working with bibliographic records

Before you can update or duplicate an existing bibliographic record, or create a

new one, you'll either need to locate the record or verify that it doesn't already

exist. For searching instructions, see Finding MARC records in your collection"
