When should I export a bibliographic record to MARS using ExportQ?
Bib Records Created in Orbis: Export to MARS for authorities processing once the cataloging is completed. Bib Records Created in OCLC: Export to MARS for authorities processing once the cataloging is completed and the record has been imported into Orbis. Bib Records With In-Process NACO/SACO Headings: Export to MARS for authorities processing once the NACO authority record has been “added” in the OCLC authority file (not the save file). Export to MARS for authorities processing once the SACO authority record has been approved by LC and appears in the national authority file. If the cataloger anticipates a long wait for approval, the bib record may be exported ahead of time but should be re-exported once the heading appears in the national authority file. Otherwise, MARS will not be able to send us the authority record.
