Your hidden collections are of unique value, both locally, to the community you serve and globally, to library patrons around the world.  Let MLNC help to reveal those backlogs, special projects and collections with cataloging needs that cannot be met by current staffing or expertise levels.

MLNC guarantees the quality of cataloging performed by library professionals via OCLC’s Connexion interface to set your holdings on those hidden collections and enable discovery in WorldCat. Completed projects include genealogy, maps, music (CDs and scores), film (DVD and VHS), audiobooks, serials, monographic cataloging as well as union listing for journal holdings.

MLNC provides full-level cataloging using tools and standards that include AACR2 revised, MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data, MARC 21 Format for Authority Data, Library of Congress Subject Headings, Library of Congress or Dewey Decimal classification and OCLC Bibliographic Formats and Standards.

For further information or fees based on project requirements please contact Deb Ehrstein (ext. 816). We use existing MLNC staff, so cannot guarantee specific production dates.
