Nylink now offers a collection of ITS.MARC files by The Library Corporation (TLC) specially aggregated and priced for member libraries only. This collection is not simply a copy of the Library of Congress catalog, but a comprehensive set of files that builds on the LC foundation by including audio-visual, pre-publication, and other records appropriate for public, school, and academic libraries.

Most importantly, Nylink consultants can help your library evaluate new options in technical services, and configure one or more record sources in a  combination that is best for your library.
