We provide a number of bibliographic cataloguing metadata resources to promote content discoverability:
MARC records and KBART files are now also added to the WorldCat® knowledge base each month to ensure the latest content selections are available to aid discoverability.
MARC records are available for all book series available on the Lyell Collection and are updated on a regular basis. You will require MARC record reader/loader software to add these .mrc files to your library system. All files have recently been updated due to the migration of the Lyell Collection to Atypon (A Crosswalk file is available.).
