Brief Record Upgrade

M

igrating to a new system is exciting but it also sheds light on all of the errors, work-arounds and inconsistencies in your current system. Start off on the right foot in your new system by letting MARCIVE update all of your records and establish consistency throughout the database.

Every migration project is different so the MARCIVE team will evaluate your current database and make recommendations for improvement prior to importing it into your new system.  An integrated library system (ILS) data migration is an excellent time to make the data consistent and add value with different forms of enrichment.

Enrichment (Table of Contents, Fiction/Biography, and Summaries) can be added conveniently and affordably during a Brief Record Upgrade (BRU) project. Reading notes (Lexile Measures®,  and Accelerated Reader) can be added for free.

All BRU projects include authorities processing at no additional cost.  In fact, sometimes the only service your database needs is Authorities Processing.  We will propose the most cost-effective database cleanup needed, whether BRU, authority control, enrichment, custom processing, or a combination.

As of 2018, we no longer offer “traditional” retrospective conversion from shelflist catalog cards or printed lists.  However, you can still perform retro projects with us using MarciveWeb SELECT.  Please contact Customer Service to learn how.
