- We are up-to-date on all current and emerging music metadata encoding and content standards, including but not limited to:
- MARC21
- RDA, LC-PCC PS and MLA Best Practices for Music Cataloging
- LCSH, LCC, LCGFT and LCMPT
- MODS and other non-MARC formats
- Language expertise, including certain non-Roman languages
- Our services are highly customizable. The following components are offered by default, but the specific needs of each client are taken into account:
- Input and enhancement of master records in OCLC WorldCat
- Authority checking of access points
- Input of local fields
- Shelflisting
- Physical processing
- Internal quality control
- No job is too big or too small. We have engaged with clients for relatively small one-time projects, we have ongoing projects with clients that have lasted 10 years or more, and everything in between
