For Union Catalog Plus members : If you are a member of a union catalog,
you must also enter a short site name and a MARC Organization Code. The
short site name is limited to 10 characters and should be a meaningful
abbreviation of the full site name. In Union Catalog Plus, the short site name
appears with the copy information in Cataloging, OPAC, and WebCollection
Plus for Union. If you do not have a MARC Organization Code, see the
instructions below.
Obtaining a MARC Organization Code
To obtain a MARC Organization Code, fill out the online request form at
http://lcweb.loc.gov/marc/organizations/
or contact the Library of Congress
directly (fax or email requests are preferred and can speed up processing):
Library of Congress
Network Development and MARC Standards Office
101 Independence Ave, SE
Washington, DC 20540-4402 Fax: (202) 707-0115
Canadian organizations should contact the National Library of Canada at
illser@knoll-bnc.ca
to obtain a library symbol.
Your MARC Organization Code must be unique among the sites with whom you
may share records.
Identifying your country and first month of statistical year
System Setup allows you to choose from three address formats: US, Canadian,
and Other Countries. Changing your address format changes the address format
of the Identification tab and modifies the template you use to add patrons. To
ensure accurate statistical reports, System Setup requires that you define the first
month in your statistical year.
