The software now freeware, allows users to follow the library world’s MARC standard at no cost. Those who stick with MARC ensure that records can be downloaded and shared around the world. Its capabilities include searching, reporting, circulation control, inventory, import-export, file/URL linking, and (Z39.50) search and downloading from other libraries.

Institutional users are encouraged to register for a service package, which entitles them to high-level assistance, and the name of their institution (instead of unsupported sample) on the masthead. This is the only restriction on the freeware status of the program. The basic support package is $200 CDN or equivalent. Please email Lex Systems if you have any problems with the download and install.
