Record Source & Cataloging

Use BestMARC's record source to search for existing quality MARC records, or catalog records from scratch using BestMARC's powerful MARC editor. Features such as Subject Explorer help you add subjects quickly and easily.

Checkpoints

Checkpoints allow you to save a working copy of your MARC records. You can view a side-by-side comparison of changes that have been made, highlighting the differences, and save it or restore the previous version.

Collaboration Tools

Easily manage users and view charts and stats. Simplify processing and improve record quality and consistency by sharing Templates, Global Edits, Workflows, and records with members of your team.

Record Enhancements

Run updates to your MARC records in a single click. Fix common problems to your records with Record Repair, update records to RDA, and update Award Notes, Reading Programs (Accelerated Reader©, Fountas & Pinnell©, Lexile©, ReadnQuiz™, and Reading Counts!©), and Subject Headings.

Lists & Selections

Use Lists to put your records into smaller groups that you can work on independently. Add or remove records from a List manually, during import, or through a set of conditions called a Selection. For instance, you can create a Selection that adds all records to a list that have less than 3 subject headings.

Global Editing

Global Editing is a fast and powerful way to make batch changes your MARC records. You define what to change and under what conditions. Save the Global Edit with your own custom name and run it anytime, as often as you'd like.

Workflows

Workflows combine multiple Global Edits and Enhancements into a single powerful command, letting you run many tasks at once. Select a Workflow when importing a file to run it automatically, saving even more time. Create Workflows for different vendors or locations based on your custom processes.

Full Circle Service

No time or desire to learn new software? Depending on your Integrated Library System (ILS), our database experts can run Enhancements on your records for you. We'll update your database several times a year, on your timeline, with little to no effort from you.
