STM publisher Springer, Germany, has released a new web tool that allows cataloguers and librarians to easily download tailor-made batches of MARC records (Machine-Readable-Cataloging) or eBook title lists. The new tool, projected to increase the quality of metadata, allows librarians to download a batch of records to a library’s Springer eBook collections. The tool is available through Springer’s MARC portal at www.springer.com/marc.
Apart from MARC records, the tool also allows a librarian to download a full or tailored title list of Springer eBooks. Each record in such title lists contain the main bibliographic information, as well as a URL to the eBook on SpringerLink.
Springer disseminates its eBooks on SpringerLink. In addition to the tool on its website, Springer can also deliver MARC records through FTP, directly to an institution’s FTP server.
