To decrease costs, the Cataloging Distribution Service is evaluating new ways of distributing and shipping updates, beginning with Update No. 8 to the MARC 21 formats. We are mailing these updates in a single package containing an Update No. 8 for each of the five individual MARC 21 formats (Authority Data, Bibliographic Data, Holdings Data, Classification Data, and Community Information). Update No. 8 for individual formats will not be sold separately by CDS.

Each section of the update package is separated by a colored sheet of paper. If you need only one section of the update, we encourage you to recycle the pages you do not need.

These MARC 21 format updates are available only as a package, selling for just $10. For the vast majority of our MARC 21 update customers, the new price represents a savings over previous years’ purchases.

If, in looking through all five of the enclosed updates, you find you are interested in format information you have not previously used, consider purchasing the cumulated edition of the base text of that format. Details about each MARC format’s cumulated base text can be found at www.loc.gov/cds/marcdoc.html.
