This introduction will give you a good idea of the products we provide and the customization available. Cataloging is provided in two broad categories. The differences between them depend on the extent to which a "standard" record is customized to meet your library's needs. Standard Cataloging is delivered in machine-readable format per your local specifications, provided changes in our standard record all can be made programmatically. Customized Cataloging applies some additional programmatic and manual changes to your records. Click here for an Overview.
