Resources for Catalogers: I-Share

The I-Share catalog includes a shared Universal Catalog of I-Share participating libraries. Bibliographic records added, edited, and deleted in local databases are automatically exported to the Universal Catalog. As such, it is important that the staff from I-Share participating libraries who create and maintain the records in the local databases agree to the following standards.

Shared bibliographic records are useful only to the extent that they are usable by others. For this reason, standards are in place to guarantee that these records will have maximum utility.This document addresses those standards.

The goal of this document is not to provide guidance on some of the options so that records in the I-Share catalog may be as consistent as possible. These are only recommendations.
